--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:0a.0 ----
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:0a.0
Primary PCI_id
Support type needed or chipset:
scanModem could not identify the Support Type needed from diagnosics or
archives.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) >
System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double
click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For
example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID
or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such
as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
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.

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
