Hello,,

    I have sent my Modemdata file to this email address and have not got a response in almost two weeks.  Is this normal or is this service even available anymore?    I have re-attached the Modemdata text file just in case it didn't transfer last time.  Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Thanks very much

-Kristien

Subject: Scanmodem output help

I have attached the Modemdata.txt file with this email.  I am new to Linux and am not sure what to do with this file or any of the outputted files.  I am very familiar with installing windows drivers but it's obviously a different process.  Please help!  I am running Ubuntu Linux.


Thanks much,

-Kristien

USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 

 --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 0000:02:01.0 ----

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

===================================
 The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!! 
 The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!!
 Possible corrections are:
   1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other Operating System type.
   Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
      http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within:  Additional Resourcces.
   2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
      Here is an example paragraph from  /boot/grub/menu.lst :
	title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
	root            (hd0,6)
	kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq
	initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
	savedefault
   2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq". 
   3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
   4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
   5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.

 Support type needed or chipset:	hsfmodem
 


 Formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available ONLY through 
 http://www.linuxant.com/drivers.  Read Conexant.txt for details.
 and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.  Driver speed is limited to
 14,400 until a key is purchased.  There is NO freeware alternative.
 There are two support package types: hsfmodem  and hcflinmodem.
 http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B reports a
 problem and solution in stalling a key, after testing of the free low
 speed download.

 The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems. 
 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.15_23_386_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
                           with 2.6.15_23_386 equivalent to 2.6.15-23-386, your kernel version.
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See Testing.txt  for details.

 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
