Dear Group:
Please help!
I recently sent a request for help regarding my LAN
that consisted of a Mandrake 9.0 and a Mandrake 10.0.
I have a working modem on the Mandrake 9.0.
I have since changed the OS on the Mandrake 10.0 for a
Ubuntu 7.10 in the hope that the modem on it would be
more user friendly -- no luck.
Attached is the ModemData.txt file.
Thank you all,
Raymond Mulley

YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Your contry's local Linux experts
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

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:

Vendor e159 is Tiger Jet , http://www.tjnet.com/
Controller e159:0001 translates PCI commands to the serial link used by
the silabs DAA from the si3034, si3044 and si3056 family.
The e159:0001 with SubSystem 8086:0003 is TJ320 v2.0
is the first and still most common of the Intel537 modem family.
However primary controller chip can have broader uses: http://www.tjnet.com/chips/tiger320.htm
Though having its own driver package under 2.4.n. kernels,
support (if any) from Intel is now included within the Intel-537EP package.

For Ubuntu Linux users with Intel 536 and 537 chipsets the are driver
installation packages available.
But since 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current support is provided at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
But regular support is not available, see: http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Writing Intel.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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
