Re: Nitin, Nepal Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic

Nitin,

Your message is not clear (I do not exactly understand what you ask for and expect from us.

1-Sound: have you configured your sound device (using /usr/sbin/alsaconf, see man alsaconf to learn how if necessary, or the sound configurator of your graphical interface)? Are you using KDE? Then are you aware that KDE mutes (switches off) the sound when you login and you must enable it with some ALSA mixer (which, depends on your interface, or you can always use less friendly alsamixer)? 2-Country code: ModemData.txt instructs you to install the SmartLink driver slamr and sends you to explanations.
I assume that you have done it and all you ask is the country code to
use for Nepal in the slmodemd command: the answer is
--country=NEPAL

When I play sample music there is also no sound. What sound driver do  I
need to install?

1106:3288 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
Bootup diagnostics lack ALSA data.

     Primary PCI_id  1057:3052

1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink
modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by
the Smartlink slamr driver.
There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which
must have 1057:3052
similarly added. See messages from Zello:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the
Smartlink.txt

The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


Download slamr-2.6.20-15-generic.tgz from
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/
under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr*.tgz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.20-15-generic
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$  sudo ./setup

Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit  /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
   slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

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/2.6.20-15-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.

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
