Dear linmodems,
I am a new user of linux and am having trouble trying to figure out what
divers I need to get my modem working.  Any help is appreciated.

--------------------------  System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686,  
Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
 scanModem update of:  20071030


 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support on your System, 
also includes drivers for some modems. Diagnostics are under the /proc/asound/ folders.

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.
Audio cards with the ALC883 chipset may require an upgrade to ALSA version 1.0.15 for modem support, see
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02577.html

Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAcelkin.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.14

Summary card and chipset information is in: 
/proc/asound/cards:
 0 [A5451          ]: ALI5451 - ALI 5451
                      ALI 5451 at 0x1000, irq 5

/proc/asound/pcm:
00-00: ALI 5451 : ALI 5451 : playback 32 : capture 1

 Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding
 a possible Conexant modem chip impervious to ALSA diagnostics. 
 Proceeding through alternative possibilties.

 A candidate driver could not be identified.

There is candidate modem software.

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:08.0
   Class 0703: 10b9:5457 Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
      Primary PCI_id  10b9:5457
    Subsystem PCI_id  103c:0850 
    Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 
                               from    Archives: CXT, a Conexant type,
      CXT is  a generic for all CXTnumbers, with  Linuxant hsfmodem software support.                  

 Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software 
 intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic 
 with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
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_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
                           with 2.6.22_14_generic equivalent to 2.6.22-14-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: 4.1.3
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-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 fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed pacakage
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-05 05:57 /usr/sbin/pppd

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

In case of a message like:

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 wifi0 wlan0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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