Hi,
We are looking for a driver for an internal modem which
Ubuntu does not automatically recognise. We downloaded
ScanModem and the attatched file is the ModemData.txt file
that it produced.
Hoping you can help us

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.

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

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev.tdb
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.3.4 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.3 linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386
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
