USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 The PCI slot 0000:00:14.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in 
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

    Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: CXT30, a Conexant type,
                              from    Archives: 
      CXT is  a generic for all CXTnumbers, with  Linuxant hsfmodem software support.

 This is a NEW softmodem case!  Please send the output ModemData.txt 
 to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance is not needed.
 It will enrich the Archive and help others!
 -------------------------------------------
 Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software 
 intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic 
 with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:	hsfmodem


The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
	/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
00-00: ATI IXP AC97 : ATI IXP AC97 : playback 1 : capture 1
01-00: ATI IXP MC97 : ATI IXP MC97 : playback 1 : capture 1

	/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
0 snd_atiixp
1 snd_atiixp_modem
	/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#0-0+regs
-------------------------------
0:7c = 4358  and  0:7e = 5430
which were translated from hexadecimal code into:  CXT30

	/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#0-0
-------------------------------
Extended modem ID: codec=0 LIN1

and from the command:
	aplay -l | grep -i modem
card 1: Modem [ATI IXP Modem], device 0: ATI IXP MC97 [ATI IXP MC97]

 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_28_386_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
                           with 2.6.15_28_386 equivalent to 2.6.15-28-386, 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.
 
 Read Conexant.txt

Writing Conexant.txt


 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-2.6.15-28-386 must be downloaded.  
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-28-386 
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  linux-headers-2.6.15-28-386


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-07-05 15:00 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
