Dear Marvin,
First, thanks for your response.
However I have those package installed already:
manu@pavla:~$ aptitude search linux-headers | grep ^i
i linux-headers-2.6-686 - Header files for Linux 2.6 on
PPro/Celeron
i A linux-headers-2.6.18-4 - Common header files for Linux 2.6.18
i A linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 - Header files for Linux 2.6.18 on
PPro/Cele
Furthermore; just in case this is important, since I have read that ALSA
and modems are somehow related:
I have successfully compiled alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2, alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2
and alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2. I needed to compile those myself in order to
get working headphones, the version on the debian repository is older
than this, and does not work with my laptop's headphones.
I re-compiled alsa-driver yesterday before installing hsfmodem with:
./configure --with-oss=yes
--with-cards=intel8x0m,intel8x0,hda-intel,atiixp-modem,riptide
make
make install
alsa-lib and alsa-utils were re-compiled just with:
./configure && make && make install
Previously, I had compiled alsa-driver only with card snd-hda-intel,
which works for my laptop (HP Pavilion dv2025nr), but some doing some
reading I have seen mentioned snd-intel8x0m for nVidia along with some
other drivers, so I included them; maybe I don't really need them.
I really don't understand my chipset. I think the hsfmodem and the
scanModem tool are being "cheated" by my hardware. It seems that it
tries the nVidia audio card (snd-intel8x0m) to do the modem stuff,
however the modem is a Conexant one(Windows says: HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax
Modem with SmartCP, CXT). I don't really get this, though.
lspci -v

Any ideas? Do you need more info?
I'm really grateful you have answer my first message. Hope this clears
things up and you can continue to help me. Currently, I'm switching to
Windows and back to Debian and the only reason I need Windows is the
modem. I work on Debian most of the time, but since I'm out of office
these days (i.e not connected to a LAN) the only way to connect to
Internet is with the modem.
Thanks and best regards,
Manuel.
