Harold, You need to get precompiled SLMODEMD.tar.gz Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Lin ux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. I have run # ./scanModem test and it confirms that SLMODEMD is needed. [root@localhost ~]# ./scanModem test 8086:24c6 1025:003d From http://limodems.technion.ac.il , get a recent update of scanModem, if this copy was not there obtained. There are weekly updates. Updated on: 2007_June_19 Identifying PCI bus slots with candidate modems. === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. === === Next deducing cogent software === Substituted test inputs: PCIDEV=8086:24c6 SUBSYS=1025:003d Analysing card in PCI bus 00:08.0, writing to scanout.00:08.0 Modem with PCI ID 8086:24c6 is in the software modem category. The modem driver snd-intel8x0m is Not loaded. To enable functional diagnostics, please either briefly login as Root: su - root (Not for Ubuntu) and unload and reload the modem driver modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m modprobe snd-intel8x0m Exit Root status exit and rerun ./scanModem 2nd run of scanModem Checking for match with Archived softmodem information. IDENT=slmodemd Using scanout.00:08.0 data, and writing guidance to ModemData.txt There was a failure to acquire modem codec information, suggesting either a Conexant modem chip, not supported by the ALSA modem driver snd-intel8x0m, of that snd-intel8x0m may require reloading. Please with Root permission do: modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m modprobe snd-intel8x0m Then rerun ./scanModem If displayed, Ignore his message on the next run.

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-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 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!
