-------------------------- 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/ALSAcraig.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.14
Summary card and chipset information is in:
/proc/asound/cards:

Vendor 10b7 3COM Inc. purchased the vendor 12b9 US Robotics modem technology.
Their winmodems have no Linux support. Their controller chipset modems
are supported by the Linux serial drivers.
The PCI id 12b9:1008 modem is Supported.

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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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
