Re: Janberk Sahin, Turkey kernel 2.6.22-14-generic

Janberk,

First, when you write that ModemData.txt is the same, did you check every line one by one?
A very small difference turns useless information into the right solution.
Is it difficult for you to send the new one?

Second, your ModemData.txt explains that there are two things to try, where only ONE at most will work, the Linuxant driver for Conexant modems or the SmartLink driver for many other models.
The Linuxant (Conexant) driver is BY NO MEANS limited to 14f1:2f00 .
This chipset is only one of many existing SHF chips from Conexant, all of them working with the same driver.

So you can do two things: try the Linuxant driver first, or try the SmartLink driver first, a matter of luck. If the first which you try does not work, try the other. When something does not work, please tell us WHAT with all details. We cannot guess! Most probably, IF the modem has a Conexant chip, the error which you met comes from the wrong choice of kernel.
Kernel is the heart of Linux. There are very many versions.
Your kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic . Give command uname -r , you will see it. I saw it in your ModemData.txt.
IF your modem is a Conexant modem, go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
On the left of the screen you will see HSF (soft modem) driver. Read Installation and copy it or print it, for METHOD B (Ubuntu).
Now select Download. Click on I AGREE at the end of the page.
In the new page which comes, close to top, click on
from the driver download page
Find and click on
Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10), Feisty (7.04), Edgy (6.10), Dapper (6.06), Breezy (5.10), 5.0.4
at the end of the table
On the next page find and click on
hsfmodem_7.68.00.04full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
which matches your kernel 2.6.22-14
Download this file.
Follow the instructions for METHOD B to install the driver.

Come back to us if you find any other error than one saying that there is no suitable modem, with the details of the error.

Likewise come back is no modem is found by the Linuxant installer. We will tell you how to remove the driver and then try the other, SmartLink, solution.

Jacques,

Thank you for your quick answer.

I got the latest of scanModem, but the output is the same as previous.

Unfortunately I don't have Windows on the machine. I totally gave it
up for Ubuntu few months ago. And unfortunately again, I am not
experienced at all, I even don't know the odd word "kernel"s meaning.

You said I should try the two solutions. In that part of the
ModemData.txt, ıt says read Conexant.txt and Smartlink.txt. I did. In
Connexant.txt, it said for 14f1:2f00 chip set a driver was available.
I installed that one ignoring the notifications regarding the "kernel"
consistency. And it didnt work as expected.

I really didnt get what you meant by saying "try the solutions".
Should I install and try all drivers I can find for Conexant and
Smartlink? If so, I would be happy if you could direct me to a
starting point.

The workers of the firm giving ADSL service here in Turkey has gone to
a strike, so I can't get ADSL right now. This is why I am so desperate
on this subject. Therefore, any help is appreciated too much.

Thanks & Regards,
Janberk

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 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

 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/

============ end Smartlink section =====================


 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
