My modem doesn't work and I can't compile the slamr driver. -------------------------- 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: 20071107 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 ALSA update guidance is in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSArafael.tgz ALSAversion = 1.0.14 Summary card and chipset information is in: /proc/asound/cards: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfebf8000 irq 23 /proc/asound/pcm: 00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1 00-00: ALC861VD Analog : ALC861VD Analog : playback 1 : capture 2 USB modem not detected by lsusb For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:1b.0 8086:284b 1043:1339 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 23: 42639 43032 IO-APIC-fasteoi HDA Intel --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00: 1b.0 ---- [ 15.976000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 23 [ 15.976000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. === === Next deducing cogent software === The High Defintion Audio card with PCI ID 8086:284b may host a soft modem chip.

Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem. ----------------------------- ------------ Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

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 2007-10-04 16:57 /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 Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
