Hi Marv,
Yes i did followed all instructions in agrsm_howto.txt. I get errors in step 3, the computer in this step gets frozen! Imagine Ubuntu "LINXU" got frozen! Where is the robustness???!!!
Attatchments in this email are:
1- Terminal.txt: This file contains the commands that i used in the terminal and the output. Please check them for me to see if there are errors or "mistakes".
2-ModemData.txt: I attatched this file again to allow you to check it for more info.
I have Ubuntu 8.04.1
If this modem doesn't work i have another pci modem, i think with motoroal chip.
Regards.

Rocky,
Have you followed the procedures in the agrsm_howto.txt, starting at 1)
We need details of the error reports.

Checking dependencies, will take a while.
Report any warnings to Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
To test a modem with the 11c11040 chip, reboot to enable loading of the new
snd-hda-intel driver. Likely it will not be possible to unload your running driver.
Follow instructions of agrsm_howto.txt, starting at 1)
For other modem chips, rebooting may not be necessary. Do:
$ sudo modprobe agrmodem
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
and dynamic creation of the modem port should be created.
Read the agrsm_howto.txt for follow through details.

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 8086:284b.
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 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:

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/2.6.24-19-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.
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
