-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686, Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Linux version 2.6.15-26-386 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006
scanModem update of: 2007_May_04
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
0000:00:0a.0 14f1:1085 14f1:1085 Communication controller: Conexant HCF V90 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp PCI Modem
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 0000:00:0a.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.
=====================================
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 0000:00:0a.0
Class 0780: 14f1:1085 Communication controller: Conexant HCF V90 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp PCI Modem
Primary PCI_id 14f1:1085
Support type needed or chipset: HCF.HSF
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.
14f1:1085 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcflinodem package.
If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read Conexant.txt
for details and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
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_26_386_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.15_26_386 equivalent to 2.6.15-26-386, 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-2.6.15-26-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386
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-2.6.15-26-386

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
