Chris Brown, Australia, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
Ubuntu 7.10 desktop, PCI modem for dialup
downloaded and used scanModem
downloaded and installed driver
hcfpcimodem_1.14full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
installed GnomePPP
gnome-ppp_0.3.23-1_i386.deb
couldn't get this to instal; don't know if I need to:
gnome-pppfixedforgutsy_0.3.24-1_i386.deb
modem initializes, connects, but fails authentication. Username and
password is same as used on a windows system (in the same box, on a
different hard drive)

CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.3

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 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
SiS SI7012 with ALC200,200P at irq 21
/proc/asound/pcm:
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
For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name

Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:10.0 ----
[ 22.311754] PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:10.0 (0004 -> 0006)
[ 22.311774] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level,
low) -> IRQ 16
[ 22.311785] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:10.0 disabled
The PCI slot 00:10.0 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: 00:10.0

Primary PCI_id 127a:1005
Support type needed or chipset: hcflinmodem
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver
compiling. Read Conexant.txt
Read Conexant.txt
Writing Conexant.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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
