Hi,
Please help me to setup modem on my IBM ThinkPad T30 in Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS kernel 2.6.15-27-386 (China).
Thanks,

------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.15-27-386
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 4.0.3
a gcc package must be installed to support driver compiling
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
Kernel-header resources are not evident.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or online resource (and mirrows), search for :
Distribution PackageName OnLine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian kernel-headers-2.6.15-27-386 http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
Ubuntu linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/ConfigUbuntu5.04%20repositories
Debian & Ubuntu will also require kernel-kbuild package installation
Mandrake kernel-source-2.6.15-27-386 If not present on install CDs search
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/mandrake/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/

SuSE linux-2.6.15-27-386 , ???? , kernels are named k_deflt
One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to match kernel 2.6.15-27-386 proves necessary.
This is necessary for most modem drivers, through some Linux distributions provide some compiled drivers.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
8086:2486 82801CA/CAM AC97 ICH3
capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from manufacturers:
Pctel
AgereSystems
Conexant
Intel
Smartlink
Smartlink software in ALSA mode may support this modem
The Subsystem PCI id does not itself identify the modem Codec.
Driver snd-intel8x0m may enable codec acquisition
Beginning check for older ac97_codec modems.
An older ac97_modem codec was not detected.
Checking through information gathered from LinModem ARCHIVES
From prior reports, the modem codec type of the Subsystem is: SIL27
The Subsystem has an Agere Systems codec SIL27
SmartLink software should support this modem
== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor=1014 is IBM.
Some thinkPad laptops have soft modem Subsystems with AgereSystems codec: 1014:0227 and 1014:0524.
Software access is through IBM:

Alternative supporting packages are the SmartLink slmodem-2.9.N using its proprietary slamr driver,
OR the Open Source snd-intel8x0m.ko driver included with recent 2.6.n kernel installations,
complemented by the daemon, slmodemd, of the slmodem-2.9.9-alsa.tar.gz package available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
A major advantage is that driver compiling is not necessary upon kernel updates
. The command sequence is:
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
# slmodemd --alsa --country=YOURCOUNTRY hw:1
with the slmodemd providing for dynamic port creation:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N
and higher level functions.
Read the slmodem package readme, Modem/Slmodem.txt and Modem/SoftModem.txt for details.
For SuSE 9.2 users, there is an update for driver slamr.ko loading during bootup.
To find it easily, search for "slamr" within http://www.novell.com/linux/download/updates/92_i386.html
SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
The official download site is: http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40 ,
but http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ has older packages and new fixes.
For the emerging 2.6.10 kernels, use the slmodem-2.9.9b.tar.gz therefrom.
Read Slmodem.txt for details.
== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, 537 soft modem
and AC97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem Subsystems.
These subSystems often have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, rather than the chip provider.
Download available drivers through: http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm with Intel-537 types at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Filter_Results.asp?selCat=all&strOSs=39&ProductID=1230&page_nbr=2
Also check at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/
for beta releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
A very detailed installation report cogent to 537 type modems is at:

Analyzing information for PCMCIA device at PCI Bus 02:00.1
GREPping for an inserted PCMCIA modem with filter: ommunication
If a PCMCIA modem is currently inserted and the sockets activated by
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
then the PCMCIA bridge is NOT transparent.
If the modem is known to have a Lucent digital signal processing chipset,
then PCMCIA.tar.gz variant assembled by Joern Wustenfeld is necessary,
rather than the standard ltmodem-8.31a9.tar.gz at http://ltmodem.heby.de/

There are Debian packages with modem drivers from SmartLink:
sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon
sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source
MANY modem subSystems serving under AC97/MC97 Controllers are also supported.
