How to run the modem?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hallo,
can you help me to run my modem under Ubuntu 8.04? I have tried with no success the Linuxant driver and the sl-modem-daemon package. In Windows its name is "Agere Systems HDA Modem".

Here is the line from the Hardware Info from Windows:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_2118144D&REV_1002\4&2DF9E19E&0&0101

The modem is in the Samsung R60plus notebook.

Thank you very much for your help.

===== 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 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

 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 DOCs/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. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the 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 1002:4383.
 If another modem card is present, then most likely 1002:4383 does not host a modem.
 If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
	1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1002:4383, as Conexant chips
 are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
	2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:
	sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

Support type needed or chipset:	

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

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:  
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

----------------end Softmodem section --------------

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 DOCs/Conexant.txt

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full_k2.6.24_19_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.

 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/2.6.24-19-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 n. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. 
 Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
 In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
 or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
 When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.


Compressed files at: /usr/src/sl-modem.tar.bz2


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 packages.
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
