Mark,
Your modem in
PCI bus slot 00:1b.0
is hosted by a HIgh Definition Audio card:
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
---------
having on the:
Subsystem PCI_id 1025:0090
a modem chipset, 0x14f12bfa, a Conexant type
Conexant chipsets are supported under Linux by hsfmodem software
provided by www.Linuxant.com
Read Conexant.txt
There are remnants at least of a prior hsfmodem installation on your System:
1) The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySHSF0 (the modem port)
2) /etc/udev/rules.d/hsf.rules:KERNEL=="ttySHSF0", SYMLINK="modem"
3) /etc/modprobe.d/hsf:alias /dev/modem /dev/ttySHSF
But scanModem would have reported the hsf* driver family,
if the installation is current and version matched with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
Thus I suspect that the current installation is in some way defective
or not version matched.
Any driver has to be upgrade when a new kernel is installed.
Best run:
$ sudo hsfconfig --help
$ sudo hsfconfig --uninstall
but I can't guess how effective it will be without the hsf* driver set active
Then do a fresh installation:
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
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.
There is good support from:
"Support (Jonathan)" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
If you have problems after the fresh installation, run the
$ sudo hsfmodem --diagnose
whose output will be written to /tmp/
and send it to Jonathan, OK to copy to us too.
