Hi
I ve a pci modem that i used to work with in windows. Now, i am trying
get it working in Debian. I ve run the scanModem tool and am attaching
the generated ModemData.txt file.
Please help!
Regards
Zubair

-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
Linux version 2.6.18-5-486 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13) (dannf@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 Fri Jun 1 00:07:22 UTC 2007
scanModem update of: 2007-12-07
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.
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 AD1985 at 0xfebff800, irq 209
1 [Camera ]: USB-Audio - PC Camera
V Micro. Corp. PC Camera at usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.3, full speed
/proc/asound/pcm:
01-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : capture 1
00-04: Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel ICH5 - IEC958 : playback 1
00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel ICH5 - ADC2 : capture 1

A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
USB modem not detected by lsusb
For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
02:04.0 2000:2800 1801:2800 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. Unknown device 2800
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
169: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb3, libata
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:04.0 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169

The PCI slot 02:04.0 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. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
There is candidate modem software.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 02:04.0
Class 0703: 2000:2800 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. Unknown device 2800
Primary PCI_id 2000:2800
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
Packages providing alsa-base and alsa-utilities support should be installed,
for necessary support of ALSA modem drivers and slmodemd actions.
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For 2.6.18-5-486 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz
Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.18-5-486 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 make linux-headers-2.6.18-5-486
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-18 may be needed to support driver compiling
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
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
