Hi All, I am using an HP tx1320 series laptop and am unable to configure modem on my laptop. Please advise me a procedure to install the modem. here is the output of modemdata.txt -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- CPU=i686, Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) Kernel Linux version 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 (kojibuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)) #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:59 EST 2007 scanModem update of: 2008_01_22 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files PCI slot 00:10.1 has a High Definition Audio Card The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support, also includes drivers for some modems.

Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem. ----------------------------------------- Support type needed or chipset: Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives: 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems. 2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for details, and to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ ----------------end Softmodem section -------------- 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 Writing Smartlink.txt ============ end Smartlink section ===================== The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2 linux-headers-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: kernel-source-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 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: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312332 2006-12-01 23:54 /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 Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options lock 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 Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 virbr0 wlan0 wmaster0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
