CPU=i686,
Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.22.5-31-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.2.1 (SUSE
Linux)) #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC
scanModem update of: 20071114
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_intel8x0m
USB modem not detected by lsusb
For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
00:1f.6 8086:24c6 14e4:4d64 Modem: Intel Corporation
82801DB/DBL/DBM
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
7: 19103 XT-PIC-XT Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem, Intel
82801DB-ICH4, eth0
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio
support,
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written
during
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
A modem was not detected though HDA card diagnostics. But a possible
Conexant modem chip
impervious to ALSA diagnostics is not excluded.
Deductions above are from information in
/proc/asound/cards:
0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with STAC9750,51 at irq 7
1 [Modem ]: ICH-MODEM - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem at irq 7

The ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
Essential complementary High Level Support is through a Smartlink utility:
slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under
Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly,the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa
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.
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
There is candidate modem software.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1f.6
Class 0703: 8086:24c6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
Primary PCI_id 8086:24c6
Subsystem PCI_id 14e4:4d64
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: BCM64, a Broadcom type.
