-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
Linux version 2.6.18-4-686 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12) (waldi@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc
version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Mon Mar 26
17:17:36 UTC 2007
scanModem update of: 20071109
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. High Definition Audio (HDA) cards can
themselves host
a softmodem chipset, with both audio+modem supported by a snd-hda-intel
driver.
The ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The modem codec file for the the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Generic 14f1 ID 2bfa
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x14f12bfa
Subsystem Id: 0x14f100c3
Revision Id: 0x90000
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip with Vendor ID: 0x14f12bfa
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x0x14f12bfa a softmodem chipset.
Get a hsfmodem package through http://www.linuxant.com
Summary card and chipset information is in:
/proc/asound/cards:
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xefebc000 irq 225
/proc/asound/pcm:

A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz

The High Defintion Audio card with PCI ID 8086:27d8 may host a soft modem
chip.
There is candidate modem software.

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives:
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
Writing Intel.txt
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.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with
SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.18-4-686 in the filename if
possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.
Read Conexant.txt
Writing Conexant.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-18
may be needed to support driver compiling
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 settings of: /etc/ppp/options
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: eth1
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
