Jerry USA kernel 2.6.22-1-mepis-smp

Could the driver BCMSM-3.4.19-6 work on this system? Or do I need to go through Linuxant?

Thanks for any help.

CPU=i686,  
Linux version 2.6.22-1-mepis-smp (root@mepis-pro) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 2 19:15:40 EST 2007
 scanModem update of:  2007-20-07


 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 
 ---ALSA bootup diagnostics --- 

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.


 Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding
 a possible Conexant modem chip impervious to ALSA diagnostics. 
 Proceeding through alternative possibilties.

Summary card and chipset information is in: 
/proc/asound/cards:
 0 [ICH5           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
                      Intel ICH5 with AD1980 at irq 21
 1 [U0x46d0x8c1    ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x8c1
                      USB Device 0x46d:0x8c1 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-5.3, high speed

/proc/asound/pcm:
00-04: Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel ICH5 - IEC958 : playback 1
00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel ICH5 - ADC2 : capture 1
00-02: Intel ICH - MIC2 ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC2 ADC : capture 1
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-00: Intel ICH : Intel ICH5 : playback 1 : capture 1
01-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : capture 1

USB modem not detected by lsusb

For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 02:01.0	14e4:4212	1028:0001	Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:01.0 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:01.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===


There is candidate modem software.

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  02:01.0
   Class 0703: 14e4:4212 Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem
      Primary PCI_id  14e4:4212
 Support type needed or chipset:	Broadcom
 Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.

 Vendor 14e4 is Broadcom http://www.broadcom.com/ , now focusing on broadband tools.
 14e4:4212 is the PCI id of a  BCM V.90 56k modem
 There is no support under 2.6.n kernels for the 14e4:4212 modems.

 There is a driver for 2.2.n kernels called  BCOM_WAN_V20.
    Search for it at http://www.dell.com 
 However the code has not been updated for some time.
 For  2.4 kernels, a fix by Giacomo Comes must be used. See :
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg01652.html
   http://cengique.2y.net/~cengiz/BCMSM/

 There are BCM Subsystems 14e4:4d64 serving under Intel ICH series softmodem controllers.
 which are supported.  Their AC97 codecs are BCM64 or SIL24.
 Kernels of version 2.6.6 or later are necessary.  See success reports:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02486.html
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03690.html
   http://oboc.ucdavis.edu/Marik/inspiron/ 
 The support is typically achieved through the snd-intel8x0m driver, plus slmodemd helper.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/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 pppd properties:

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock

proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
