Hi,
I just have installed Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn on my
laptop and I have no success in configuring the modem.
I enclosed herewith the ModemData.txt file.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Adrian

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in

USB modem not detected by lsusb
Several modems are supported by drivers with ALSA, the
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture software.
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13
Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware

1002:437b is a High Definition Audio card, possibly

Bootup diagnostics lack ALSA data.
The HDA modem codec file is:

This is a NEW softmodem case! Please send the output

to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance
is not needed.
It will enrich the Archive and help others!
-------------------------------------------
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the
modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller
manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in
the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem
driver: snd-hda-intel
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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem
is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and
audio drivers it depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section
=====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions
may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders)
collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are
libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev).
The also required headers of package libc6 are
commonly installed by default.
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 Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not
on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux
distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the
compile again.
