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/ALSAwenca.tgz ALSAversion = 1.0.13 Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and diagnostics: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 01:08.0 14f1:1034 144f:102d Communication controller: Conexant HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice Modem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 01:08.0 ---- === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. === === Next deducing cogent software === 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.
