I want to install a agere systems modem in my linux box which is
running ubuntu feisty(7.04). I have attached the Modemdata.txt along
with this mail. Hoping that somebody can tell me as to how to go about
the installation.
Regards
Vinayak

CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.20-16-generic (root@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007

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

Support type needed or chipset: Agere.SV2P
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced:
with varying support under Linux.

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.
