Dear all,
I am trying to install the internal modem of a HP Compaq nx6310 under Ubuntu
6.06.
I have tried installing sl-modem-daemon and snd-hda-intel, but it got pretty
messy and I am not clear about the situation.
I don't dare touch it anymore without outside guidance as I cannot have anyone
to help me but online.
I hope you can help me out.
Benoit

8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
snd-hda-intel may not be competent to read /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
before 2.6.15 kernels, for HDA card 8086:27d8
The VendorID 0x11c13026 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the
snd-hda-intel driver
included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of
0x11c13026 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.13. There are instructions for
upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg0????.html
The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver
update.
Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 0000:00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 103c:30aa
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
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: snd-hda-intel
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:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends
on,
