Janberk,
First of all, the version of scanModem which you used is obsolete.
Please always take the last from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages
Second, you would get the chip Id if the modem was an independent PCI
unit, but recent systems use the HDA sound system to support the modem.
The only way to identify the modem part of the chipset is by detecting
the codecs of the modem.
Your ModemData.txt does not show it, perhaps because it could not find
it, perhaps because you have used an interim incomplete scanModem.
Finally, since you look experienced, read ModemData.txt again, below
"Support type needed or chipset:" and try the two suggestions.
Also, if you have Windows in the same computer, querying ATI for I=1 to
10 while using a hyperterminal to talk to the modem will show something
for the driver such as Conexant or SmartLink or else, saving you trying
the wrong one(s).

Hi,
I used to think I was capable of handling the difficulties I face in
Linux, until I tried to get my modem work in Ubuntu Gutsy.
Here I present you the ScanModem output of my laptop (fujitsu-siemens,
amilio pro with Intel duo processor) and give my best appreciations
for any help about what I should do. I couldn't work out even the
chipset of the device from the ModemData.txt :(((.
Thanks,
Janberk

The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySHSF0
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

hsfpcibasic2
hsfserial

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/ALSAjanberk.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.14
Summary card and chipset information is in:

Bootup diagnostics lack ALSA data.

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/

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
