===== 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 drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The ALSA verion is 1.0.13
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------

Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1

Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x11c11040
Subsystem Id: 0x11790001
Revision Id: 0x100200
Modem Function Group: 0x1
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x11c11040
The softmodem chip 11c11040 is only supported currently under Red Flag kernel 2.6.21-20
Resources are at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
The kernel+modules package linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb includes the
agrmodem + agrserial drivers. Read the agrsm_howto.txt for usage details, starting at 1).

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/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.
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

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
