Help Needed to Setup PCI Dial-up Modem - Scanmodem completed
Hi Gang!
I am unable to get my Thinkpad T21 dial-up modem working (Chip# MPCI
3A56GSP-100PA). Below is my ModemData.txt . I also ran "sudo
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" but no modem was found.
Any help would be amazing for this newbee. I am dead sick of Windows
and want this opensource to work--but I really have zero experience
with it.
Best Regards,
James

Class 0700: 115d:000c Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem
Primary PCI_id 115d:000c
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
DSP=1
Vendor 115d is XIRCOM, which was purchased by Intel
The following devices have Lucent/AgereSystems DSP chipsets supported by the
Martian variant of the AgereSystems ltmodem software.
XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0000-0x000F
XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0440-0x045c
XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0010-0x03ff
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.5 and a compiler is not installed
To support compiling, get the BreezyGCC_3.4_i386.tar.gz from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.4 make linux-headers-2.6.12-9-386
If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to
be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were:
build-essential curl debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.1 gettext git-core gitk
html2text intltool-debian kernel-package kernel-wedge libc6-dev
libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl libstdc++6- 4.1-dev
linux-libc-dev po-debconf rcs tcl8.4 tk8.4

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
