I am looking for some dirvers for my modem. In enclosure there is the
file gotten Modem.txt performing ScanModem. Could someone help to
understand me what I have to do?
Thanks in advance

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/ALSAgeneroso.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.12

The High Defintion Audio card with PCI ID 1106:3288 may host a soft modem chip.
Bootup diagnostics lack ALSA data.
Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding
a possible Conexant modem chip
impervious to ALSA diagnostics.
Proceeding through alternative possibilties.
The NotDetermined is not supported by this kernel.
There is candidate modem software.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 04:01.0

High Definition Audio Controller
Primary PCI_id 1106:3288
Subsystem PCI_id 1043:81e7
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:
Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset
modems: Read Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for
details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
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

For candidate modem in PCI bus:
05:07.0
Class 0703: 1057:3052 Modem: Motorola Unknown device 3052
Primary PCI_id 1057:3052
Support type needed or chipset:
slamr
1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink
modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver.
There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052
similarly added. See messages from Zello:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the Smartlink.txt
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd
helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 compiling drivers is necessary.
As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and
slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled
with gcc version 4.1.1 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 kernel-source-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
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
