Hi, i did a format to my PC and reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04, but when i tried to install the driver i got problems. I attached the terminal output to show you what I've done. Also i attatched modemData file to show you if there is a problem!
By the way Jacques, i tried what you told me on the previous installation and i got this message when i wanted to make a connection: no directory /dev/ttySAGR... i don't remember the message exactly but something like this.
I think the driver didn't work on the previouse installation also!
Please check the attached files again guys.
I'm waiting for the expert Marv.
Regards.

Rocky,
At first sight it looks to me that it worked perfectly!
You still need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf for the three parameters
username password phone given to you by your ISP.
Remove the leading ;
Remove the container
Replace the word to the RIGHT of the = sign by its value from the ISP
Save and exit.
If you use gedit, start as follows: sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
When done, typing sudo wvdial is likely going to connect you.
Do not do anything else in the window where you run wvdial until you
want to stop the modem using CTRL-C

Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced:
with varying support under Linux.

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 8086:27d8.
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.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic
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:
