Hi there!
I am new user of Ubuntu 8.04 (Desktop edition). Hopely u understand my
problem, since i am attaching ModemData.txt file - my modem is not
recognised. Moreover, reading the file, I couldn't understand a chipset
also.
Please take a look and explain me what chipset of modem i have and where
to take a driver for this specific model (and how to install it :) )
Best regards,
Oleg

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The ALSA verion is 1.0.15
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x11c13026
The softmodem chip 0x11c13026 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary. Instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html

The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c13026
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

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. 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
