Marcello,

Additionally your Systems's  ALSAversion 1.0.11 snd-hda-intel driver
does not have the support codes for the Vendor Id: 0x11c11040 chipset.
ALSA code will have to be updated.

Since
Compiling resources appear complete:
 make utility - /usr/bin/make
 Compiler version 4.1
 kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build
you should get used to the following procedure. Support for the
0x11c11040 chipset is still being completed, and it may have to be
repeated as ALSA code is further updated.

From http://www.alsa-project.org/    download the version 1.0.14rc2 driver
and lib packages.  Make a folder, say alsa/.
$ mkdir alsa
Unpack both packages in the alsa/ folder
$ cd alsa
$ tar jxf PATH_to/alsa*.tar.bz2
will unpack both.

Make a useful definition:
$  HEADERS=/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build

Check for validity with:
$ ls $HEADERS
should show files like:
arch     include         lib             scripts
block    init            Makefile        security
crypto   ipc             mm              sound
drivers fs       kernel          net             usr
----------------
This definition does not survive a shutdown and must be redone upon reboot,
when a new driver compiling is necessary.

To compile the driver set, move into the driver folder:
$ cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2
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
Do nothing in the alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2/  folder.  But it is used during
the compile.

The new driver set is displayed by:
$ ls modules
and installed by
$ sudo make install

THen reboot to have the new drivers used.  Again run
./scanModem

there should an  device specification  N suggested for:
$   slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa hw:0,N
when N will be likely 1 or 6
And the modem should be shown by
$  aplay -l

Try the command:
$ su  root
#   slmodemd -c BRAZIL  --alsa hw:0,N

Hopefully its will announce port creation

Follow through with the guidance in the SLMODEMD-gcc4.tar.gz

When you report back, please first
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
and attach dmesg.txt to your Report on modem functionality

Marcelo,
I read in your ModemData.txt:
BEGIN QUOTE
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,?
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.
END QUOTE
The instructions in there say that you need a modprobe snd-something.
In your case:   modprobe snd-hda-intl
