Hi,

sorry but I do not really understand what I can do to find out more about my 
modem, hope this ModemData.txt-File gives you a hint.

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 
 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support, 
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written during 
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

 The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.
 Finished copy to Modem/ALSAjuergen.tgz

The ALSA verion is 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:1b.0
   Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
      Primary PCI_id  8086:27d8

    Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 
                               from    Archives: 14f12bfa, a Conexant type 
using hsfmodem software.
                        

 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


Writing Intel.txt

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.

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 package
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:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 21:57 /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)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

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