Hi, I have exactly same problems with my Toshiba a50. Have you used slamr driver from slmodem instead of snd-intel8x0m one. With that, of course, no semaphore warnings are appeared, but the NO CARRIER error remains true.

I’ve wrote a mail to linux-support@smlink.com and to linmodems mailing list discuss@linmodems.org.

Please, if you have any news, reply to
