Hello everybody
I'm trying to use an internal modem identified as
ati-ixp-modem by the kernel. I've installed and
running slmodemd and "Carrier Check = no" in
wvdial.conf.
However, when I try to dial I always get immediatly
"NO CARRIER" as response. The modem doesn't even pick
up the line.
ModemData.txt is attached.
Someone knows how to get this modem working?
Thanks in advance.
Juan

The following two Root commands should set up the modem if it is not a Conexant type.
sudo modprobe snd-atiixp-modem

Conexant
Archive records show that 103c:???? Subsystems from HP with the exception of 103c:006b and 103c:3081
have a Conexant chip. Thus first test hsfmodem software from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers

Some Linux Distributions include the hsfmodem driver.
Search your packages information for "hsfmodem" and "Conexant".
If not found there, download a hsfmodem package from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers .
Test the effectiveness of the hsfmodem package from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php.
== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor 1002 is ATI Technolgies, http://www.ati.com, producing video cards, motherboard
and a 1002:434d ATI soft modem controller with a variety of Subsystems.
1002:4378 is an AC97 modem controller, with atiixp support code in the CVS, Aug 2005
For service with Smartlink slmodemd compatible hardware, see Modem/Slmodem-ALSA.txt
For service of Conexant chipset Subsystems, the file in hsfmodem packages,
modules/mod_mc97ati.c
needs the 2nd line below inserted:
{0x1002, 0x434D, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CNXTHWCFG("mc97ati")},
{0x1002, 0x4378, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CNXTHWCFG("mc97ati")},
{0,} /* terminate list */
Vendors 127a and 14f1 are Conexant, inheritor of Rockwell modem technology. There are also Conexant chipsets
in some modems from vendors 158b - Allied Data Tech., 1024 - Zenith ,141a - Apache Micro and 148d Digicom Systems.
With respect to software support there are two main types, hcfpcimodem* and hsfmodem* .
Download driver code packages from http://www.Linuxant.com/drivers
At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html#conexant , there are scripts aiding installation:
For HSF modems.
For HCF modems.
There is additional Conexant information written to Modem/Conexant.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
