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
$ 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)
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.

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their
Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:284b.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:284b does
not
host
a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities
are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:284b, 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 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.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:

============ end Smartlink section =====================
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-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
