Hi Marvin
Thank you very much for your continuous help. I got a PCMCIA Siemens
modem over the week-end from a friend and thanks to some additional
hints (signed by you I found on the Internet), I finally was able to get
least this one running. Now I'm afraid to change things that works, so I
decided to yet use the PCMCIA modem (working) and at the next big OS
upgrade invest some more time again with the internal Lucent modem.
My trouble with ubuntu though are not yet finished I'm having now a new
issue installing a Lexmark 1100 Printer . On the Internet I found a very
usefully link and page to download the required driver and the specific
procedure on:
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/StampantiScanner/Lexmark
Now, I followed the procedure command by command but almost at the end
of the procedure one command (usbfs) did not work (usbfs seemed not to
be recognized by my ubuntu system). Do you also have some hints here as
unfortunately I can't print so fur?
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0
Again Thank you very much in advance if you shall have some further
hints or if you could redirect me to some one that can help further with
similar issues. Maurizio

Maurizio,
Please do the boot with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel
for which there is from your previous report
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build
which should be a symbolic link to needed resources at
/usr/src/linux-headers/2.6.20-16-generic
Then retest as before

Hi Marvin,
first of all thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately is seems
that I might have some issues with the "make" command.
I did doanload martian-full-20061203.tar.gz and unpackedand moved to
that dir (it has btw created a directory "martian" not
"martian-full-20061203, so I even tried rename it, but with the result
were the same). Already the "make clean" commands seems not wot work

Please try using the generic package from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
the martian-full-20061203.tar.gz
Under Linux unpack with:
$ tar zxf martian*.tar.gz
Move in
$ cd martian-full-20061203
$ make clean
$ make all
$ sudo make install
Subsequently
$ sudo modprobe martian_dev
will install the driver
Do
$ martian_modem --help
to get the options list
$ martian_modem --info countries
to get the countries list
$ sudo martian_modem --country=ch
should create the ports and setup the modem
Open a 2nd console or TAB a new window
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should find the modem at /dev/ttySM0
Start on this process & report back.

There is no point in trying make install and further when make all has
failed.
The problem with make all is probably caused by different Ubuntu
versions.
Marv knows Ubuntu and will address your problem.
I know nothing about Ubuntu and similar (Debian) Linux distributions.
The only way by which I could help you would be if you could type the
two following commands EXACTLY as shown and send me the file
jacques.txt which they will produce. Thanks - Jacques:
ls /lib/modules/*/ > jacques.txt
uname -a >> jacques.txt

Jacques, Many Thanks for your support I'm getting closer but still
having some troubles (due most probably to my not very advanced Linux
experience). I did the steps you indicated but when I run the INSTALL
procedure step by steps it seems that I'm having some troubles
executing some of the commands (I've also tried with "sudo" but seems
not to help to much).
Below a dump of the commands and results I would very much appreciate
if you could further help and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Again thanks in advance very much for your help.

so you go to
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
You download the file martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz
You unpack it with the command:
tar zxf martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz
You enter the software for the driver with
cd martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic
There, you read the file named INSTALL and you do step by step what
it says (IGNORE x86_64 platform).
The "root" directory wuioted there is NOT the /root (note the /)
directory of user "root" but the directory
martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic
Your dreams are shared and will remain dreams. We are a handful of
volunteers unable to create a "dream" installer for each of so many
modems under so many versions of Linux.
In addition, you will see that when your modem will work, you will
already have learnt a lot about using Linux, specially command lines.

Hi Linux/Ubuntu Friends
Hi just installed for the first time the ubuntu version on a Compaq
Evo N610c / 256k RAM and now almost everything works fine but as I
need to use very often a modem connection (modem already integrated
in the Notebook) and I need now your help to get it possibly
configured and recognized by ubuntu.
Now, I'm not a very technical person and I must admit that it was
already quite difficult for me to find out the Modem chipset
following a procedure I fould on
(http://help.ubuntu-it.org/7.04/ubuntu/internet/it/connect-to-internet.html)and
frankly speaking I'm quite confuse now when I read what I need to
do next (root?, Compiling?,..).
Could some one help me and tell what I really need to do next? My
dream as I really don't know nothing about linux and compilers
would be to download a self extracting application that would
recognize and configure my modems, but well if this is only a dream
then I would really need a step by step procedure (possibly written
for non technical/linux person) so that I can hopefully really follow.
Many thanks for your great support!!! :-)

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.
