Good Morning List,
I have a HP compaq nx7000 laptop with an internal modem but I can't
have the dialup connection working under Ubuntu Gutsy with kernel
2.6.22-14-generic.
Lspci shows :
00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M)
AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Unknown device 0860
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
I/O ports at 4400 [size=256]
I/O ports at 4800 [size=128]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
scanModem does not create any files like intel.txt or smartlink.txt ...
I attached the ModemData file created. I also tried to launch the
scanModem as super user. The error message "lsmod utility not found!"
is wrong as I am currently using it.
As I have read on the web that my laptop modem would be working with
smartlink drivers, I tried to install
slamr-2.6.22-14-generic.tar.gz taken from
http://linmodems.techion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
I copied both kernel modules slamr.ko and ungrab-winmodem.ko to
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ and installed package
sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1_i386.deb. Modules are
loaded correctly.
When I launch the connection with network-manager, it times out :

One important point, I am using the same dial up connection with
another ubuntu laptop and succeed (sony vaio C2S with hsfmodem), so
the dial up connection is working and I am using the same connection
info.
My questions are the following :
- why is scanModem script not able to detect my modem?
- is smartlink driver installed correctly?
Thank you for your help,
Best Regards

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
