Hello to everybody
I am a Linux beginner, I am trying to get Linux (Open suse 10.3 KDE) running on my Laptop (Asus L3350M), but unfortunately I have problem with the modem.
I ran ScanModem and I checked ModemData.txt, where it seems I would install slmodemd, I downloaded but I don,t get to compile the file (I don't see any "make" file in the top directory)
I hope someone can help me, here I paste the ModemData.txt result.
Many Thanks.
Amos

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: 20071109
The slmodemd set symbolic link is /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/3
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_intel8x0m
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 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
SiS SI7012 with STAC9721,23 at irq 11
1 [Modem ]: ICH-MODEM - SiS SI7013 Modem
SiS SI7013 Modem at irq 11
/proc/asound/pcm:
01-00: Intel ICH - Modem : SiS SI7013 Modem - Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1
A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
USB modem not detected by lsusb

The PCI slot 00:02.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===

There is candidate modem software.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:02.6
Class 0703: 1039:7013 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller
Primary PCI_id 1039:7013
Subsystem PCI_id 1043:1696
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: SIL21, a Pctel type.
from Archives: SIL21, a Pctel type.
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: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
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 modem:1
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-intel8x0m and audio drivers it depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0m

Writing Smartlink.txt

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.1 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.22.5-31-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 kernel-source-2.6.22.5-31-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:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 298784 22 set 01:41 /usr/sbin/pppd
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)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
