YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance.
Your contry's local Linux experts
can be found through:

They will know your Country's modem code, which may be
essential for dialup service.

=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.2.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-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
