Thomas Nichols - Conexant HSF on Gentoo 2.6.22-r8 - UK

Hi,

I'm trying to get an internal modem working on a Gentoo i686 box. I've tried hsfmodem, without success, and have now run scanModem - but don't have a clear idea whether hsfmodem is actually the best approach. Please could anyone advise?

# uname -a
Linux titania 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 #4 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 15 13:04:16 GMT 2008 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# grep CHOST /etc/make.conf
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

I can emerge net-dialup/hsfmodem ok:
# emerge -pv hsfmodem
...
[ebuild   R   ] net-dialup/hsfmodem-7.68.00.04-r1  USE="-doc" 0 kB

but when I run hsfconfig, although it appears successfully to compile all modules I get:

---hsfconfig begin----
# hsfconfig
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.68.00.04full

If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to:
       http://www.linuxant.com/

When reporting a problem for the first time, please send
us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

----hsfconfig end----



I ran scanModem, which detects the modem: ModemData.txt is attached.

I found unloading.gz at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/unloading.gz (not at the http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/ address given in Bootup.txt, which might need updating). However, after running ./unloading, although it strips out most of the loaded modules, the modem still does not respond. I'm testing with minicom on /dev/modem, and also with `wvdialconf wvtest` -- neither show any modem responding.

I get the following in dmesg (full dmesg.txt attached):

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
cnxthsf_cnxt_serial_add: ComCtrlOpen failed (2049)
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:09.0 disabled
hsfpcibasic2: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -5


Earlier attempts at hsfconfig complained about 4K_STACKS so this is switched off (updated kernel rebuilt and running):
# grep 4K /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not set

Should I be using a different driver? Or would this query be better directed to the Linuxant support team?

Thanks for your attention; any feedback would be most welcome.

Best regards,
Thomas.

CPU=i686,  
This is 
Linux version 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 (root@titania) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2)) #4 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 15 13:04:16 GMT 2008
 scanModem update of:  2008_03_15
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySHSF0

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 

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


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
 0 [SI7012         ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
                      SiS SI7012 with AD1888 at irq 21

USB modem not detected by lsusb

For candidate card in slot 00:09.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:09.0	14f1:2f30	14f1:205d	Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
 20:       9725   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth0
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:09.0 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:09.0 disabled
hsfpcibasic2: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -5

 The PCI slot 00:09.0 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.

      Primary PCI_id  14f1:2f30
 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. 
 Start at  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
 eventually download of a hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k.???.zip package
 with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
 These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver, 
 if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver.
 The generic hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support

 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: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-gentoo-r8/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:
	-r-s--x--x 1 root root 256888 Oct 13 17:53 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.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
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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