--------------------------  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_Oct_08


 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files
USB modem not detected by lsusb


Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  (ALSA) spackage providing audio support
on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. For modems using the
snd-hda-intel  audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are
sometimes
necessary to achieve function. See for example:
      http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02144.html
 Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAdawid.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

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

 PCI slot PCI ID  SubsystemID Name

 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:02.0 ----

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

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  02:02.0
   Class 0780: 14f1:2702 Communication controller: Conexant Unknown device
2702
      Primary PCI_id  14f1:2702
 Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem



For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package
with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read
Conexant.txt

 The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.20_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
                           with 2.6.20_15_generic equivalent to
2.6.20-15-generic, your kernel version.
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See Testing.txt  for details.

Writing Conexant.txt


 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:

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

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: eth0 eth0:avah
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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