The potential driver is snd-hda-intel + its dependent driver set.
One problem is the driver set now on your System doesnot have the
recognition code for the Agere softmodem chip, Vendor Id: 0x11c11040.
Thus the driver set will have to be compiled and installed.
Depending on your kernel, one of
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386.rpm
must be installed to complete you compiling support.
If may be available on your install CDs or alternatively at a fedora mirror like
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora
The following should suffice if you kernel is for i686 as contrasted
to the more general i386:
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm
it will be installed to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686 (or i386)
Make a definition your will need later:
$ HEADERS=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686
Check for validity with:
$ ls $HEADERS
should show:
arch include lib scripts
block init Makefile security
crypto ipc mm sound
drivers kabi_whitelist Module.symvers symsets-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.tar.gz
fs kernel net usr
This definition does not survive a shutdown and must be redone upon reboot,
when a new driver compiling is necessary.
Then from http://www.alsa-project.org/ the version 1.0.14rc1 driver
and lib packages. Make a folder, say alsa. Unpack both packages in
the alsa/ folder
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
will unpack both. The versions 1.0.13 and later have the recognition
code for the 0x11c11040 chip.
To compile the driver set, move into the driver folder:
$ cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1
Look around:
$ ls
$ make clean
Do the configuration with with the following command on ONE LINE:
$ ./configure --with-kernel=$HEADERS --with-build=$HEADERS
--with-cards=hda-intel
If the configuration is successful, the driver set will be compiled with:
$ make
The new driver set is displayed by:
$ ls modules
and installed by
$ su root
$ sudo make install
THen reboot to have the new drivers used. Again run
./scanModem

Hi,
Here the ModemData.txt file for a Compal HGL30 laptop (Intel barebone),
because the ModemData.txt file says I should send it to the list :-).
I didn't succeed to get the modem working:
I tried slmodemd and I can issue AT commands to the device (and get a
response), but when dialing, I immediately get "NO CARRIER" and slmodem
then says:
error: cannot set channels for playback: Invalid argument
Any hints are welcome.

-------------------------------------------
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
