hi i'm giorgos Anastasakos from Greece, I'm sending my modemdata txt http://www.linmodems.org -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- CPU=i686, Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 scanModem update of: 20071019 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are: snd_via82xx_modem Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) spackage providing audio support on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. 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 Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz ALSAversion = 1.0.14 USB modem not detected by lsusb Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and diagnostics: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:11.6 1106:3068 1025:001d Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

This is a NEW softmodem case! Please send the output ModemData.txt to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to enrich the Archive and help others! If further assistance is not needed, please use email Subject: New Case Only ------------------------------------------- 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: hsfmodem 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 The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems. From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip with 2.6.22_14_generic equivalent to 2.6.22-14-generic, your kernel version. Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See Testing.txt for details. 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 files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example. Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: $ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were: libc6-dev linux-libc-dev available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD. Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions. Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
