Jonathan,

Installation of ALSA deriver does not work. I get this error message:

Hi,

for the 2.6.24-16-* kernels, we have pre-compiled HCF and DGC packages available and we are working on making a HSF one in the near future as well.

At the moment, the generic package in the DEB format of the HSF driver will work well on Ubuntu Hardy. However, if you have a HDA modem, you *must* install first alsa-driver-linuxant available at:

http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/

before installing the HSF driver or else it will not work.

Jonathan,
    The Ubuntu Hardy release is out with 2.6.24-16-* kernels.  It
would be useful to have compiled drivers for this set.

Graham,

If it is an internal modem,  a Conexant modem chip is most likely in
the Subsystem of:
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
     Primary PCI_id  8086:27d8
   Subsystem PCI_id  1631:c017

Read the Conexant.txt

From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
get the 	hsfmodem_7.68.00.09full_i386.deb.zip
Under Ubuntu:
$ unzip hsf*.zip
$ sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
and follow through with the output instructions.
The drivers will be compiled enroute.

A reboot may be necessary before trying to detect the modem with:
$ wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
if detected, edit in your dialout info with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
removing the  ; <  > symbols

Please report back after thus testing.

  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
  $ sudo 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:
        sudo  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
  will be able to dial out with Root permission:
        sudo 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) >

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

  High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their
Subsystem,

  A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:27d8.
  If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:27d8 does not host
a modem.
  If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
        1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:27d8, as Conexant chips
  are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
        2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset
(hardware) type.

 Support type needed or chipset:

 Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt
 The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

 2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
 to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:

 ============ end Smartlink section =====================


  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. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility
"patch" will also be needed.



 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
