YourName, YourCountry
Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel kernel 2.6.22.5-31-default
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.

CPU=i686,
Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.22.5-31-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC
scanModem update of: 2008_04_16
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Checking /proc/bus/usb/devices
/proc/bus/usb/devices file not present, barring USB modem query.
=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===
A candidate modem is not evident among the PCI devices:

------------------------------------------------
with USB and bridge devices not displayed.
If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
will be able to dial out with Root permission:
wvdial
Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems
If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.

A UDEV device file system is not active.
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.1 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.22.5-31-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 kernel-source-2.6.22.5-31-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:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 298784 2007-09-22 02:41 /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

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