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.

 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:  
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

 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
