Scott,
scanModem only detects PCI card modems, and failed to detect one in
the expected Class 07?? modem category on your System. Just manually
do
$ lspci
$ lspci -nv
to display all the available PCI info.
Also try to get info on the modem under a Microsoft boot, as described
in SoftModem.txt.

Hi there, I am trying to find out what driver I should use for my
modem so I ran scanModem. But I can't find what it is suppose to be

-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Linux version 2.6.15-23-386 (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.0.3
(Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006
scanModem update of: 2006_December_20
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed
If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two
procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.
In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386

$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
