To whom it may concerns,

I was highly adviced to send this file to this discussion list. So here you go.

 Only plain text email is forwarded by the  DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.
 Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
           SomeName, YourCountry  kernel 2.6.20-15-generic 
 This will alert cogent experts, and  distinguish cases in the Archives.
 YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

--------------------------  System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686,  
Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007
 scanModem update of:  2007_Sept_07


 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 
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/ALSAdryu.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and diagnostics:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:14.2	1002:437b	17ff:058f	Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
 20:       1688          1   IO-APIC-fasteoi   HDA Intel
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:14.2 ----
[   18.660000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

1002:437b is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
Bootup diagnostics lack ALSA data.

 The HDA modem codec file is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
-----------------------------------
Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x11c13026
Subsystem Id: 0x17ff058f
Revision Id: 0x100700

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip with Vendor ID:  0x11c13026

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:14.2
   Class 0403: 1002:437b Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio
      Primary PCI_id  1002:437b
    Subsystem PCI_id  17ff:058f 
    Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
                              from    Archives: 
                        

 This is a NEW softmodem case!  Please send the output ModemData.txt 
 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

The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:

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/2.6.20-15-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.


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-x 1 root dip 269224 2007-04-05 07:41 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

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

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: ath0 ath0:avah eth0 wifi0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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