[hcflinux] Modem not responding after a program crash

[Franki]

I had a wierd problem with wvdial, where I could not access the modem until
I restared X, (if it was running.)

thats a pain, but much easier then restarting the OS altogether..

I figured it had something to do with either wvdial X or devfs

try just restarting X and see what that does.. it only used to happen to me
if I killed wvdial while it was trying to dial..
and that was with a 56k serial external.

Hi,
I have a SmartDDA modem (14F1:1056) and tried to connect.
The installation went OK, but when I first dialed using
wvdial, there were some errors (I don't remember exactly),
so I killed wvdial. After that, the modem didn't respond
to anything, even if nobody used /dev/modem (I checked
this using fuser -v ) and I wasn't able to remove the
module (saying that it is busy). However the driver wasn't
dead as it showed information in /proc/.../lastcallstatus.
After restarting the computer, it worked OK.
Should I try to reproduce the problem (and log everything) ?

Otherwise, thanks for the driver.
Alexandr Kara
