------------ --------------  System information ------------------------
 Mandriva Linux release 2007.1 (Cooker) for i586
Kernel 2.6.17-13mdv on an i686 / 
 on System with processor: i686
 currently under kernel:   2.6.17-13mdv
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not present
 USB modem not detected.

   
   For Mandrake/Mandiva 9.1 later, installation of the pciutils.rpm  package providing  lspci is necessary.
   The installed utility   lspcidrake  is NOT an adequate alternate for scanModem support.

The SmartLink slamr driver supports this modem:
    2000:2800  Gateway SL2800
complemented by the SmartLink slmodemd.

 == Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

 SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
 The official download site is:  http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
 But a more recent code and a much broader license for other chipset support,
 can be downloaded from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  
 Though not always needed, download the files: 
   slmodem-CurrentVersion.tar.gz - provides the most general code package.
   SLMODEMD.gcc4 - provides a compiled slmodemd 
   ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz  -  may be needed for usage with slamr. 
 Details on their usage are in Slmodem.txt, Slmodem-ALSA.txt and
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html


  ======= PCI_ID checking completed ====== 
 Update=2006_June_14
A PCMCIA CardBus is not detected on this System.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Apr  7 14:41 /dev/.udevdb

There is an active UDEV file system, creating device nodes in volatile RAM.
For SmartLink modems using the slamr.ko or slusb.ko drivers an /etc/init.d/ script
will be necessary to create /dev/slamr0 or /dev/slusb0 ports, or manually by:
#  mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
#  mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
upon each bootup.

For information on modem port creation under the UDEV device file system see:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03299.html  for Conexnant modems
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01177.html  for Lucent/Agere DSP modems

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
Checking /usr/src/ for compressed compressed headers or kernel-source

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compressed resources are present, expand and then configure them following DriverCompiling.txt
They may have to be installed.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or online resource (and mirrows), search for :
  Distribution  PackageName			OnLine
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Debian  		kernel-headers-2.6.17-13mdv    	http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages or install CD
 Ubuntu 		linux-headers-2.6.17-13mdv		http://http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or install CD
 Xandros
                        kernel-kbuild-3.6 are additionally required by  Debian, Ubuntu and Xandros
 Mandrake 	kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv	   If not present on install CDs search
 	http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/mandrake/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ 
	http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/mandrake/official/LByName.html, or other mirrors.
  SuSE		kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv		 , kernels are named k_deflt
  FedoraCore4  kernel-devel-2.6.17-13mdv or kernel-smp-devel-2.6.17-13mdv on install CD1 or CD4
One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to match kernel 2.6.17-13mdv proves necessary.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.
   

 Wvdial is a dialout utility very useful for modem testing.  If not encluded on
 your installation media, check your distrbutions on line software repository.
 An example is:  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01480.html

 A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.

====================================================
   grep -rs ppp /etc/modprobe.*
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

  The following ppp related modules are likely unpacked during loading.
  If not they  should be unpacked by root with:
# gunzip PathTo/ModuleName.ko.gz
/boot/config
/boot/config-2.6.17-13mdv
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/bsd_comp.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/slhc.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_deflate.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko.gz

 On most Systems, unpacking will driven by installing the wvdial.rpm
 and/or the package providing the KPPP graphical dialing interface.

 COMM services are not active
Be sure to read the section about ppp related modules and aliases in Modem/YourSystem.txt

  pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with 2.6.8 kernel releases.
  If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being subsequently established,
  drop back to a 2.4.1 version.  This has worked for PCTEL AMR modem users,
  supported by the http://www.smlink.com  slmodem software.
  Check pppd version with:
    pppd --version
  See  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03167.html
    

If the Mandrake installation disks do not include the dialer utility wvdial.rpm,
then get instructions from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01480.html
