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_09
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySHCF0
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/ALSAdieter.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

available, but requires driver compiling. Read

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.
