Kernel 2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv on an i686 /
Linux version 2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv (lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.2.2 20070909 (prerelease) (4.2.2-0.RC.1mdv2008.0)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 04:17:10 CEST 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

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip with Vendor ID: 0x14f12bfa
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x0x14f12bfa a softmodem chipset.

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 2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv in the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/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 settings of: /etc/ppp/options
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
