YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.17-10-powerpc
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

Linux version 2.6.17-10-powerpc (root@ross) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)) #2 Fri Oct 13 16:37:41 UTC 2006 (Ubuntu 2.6.17-10.33-powerpc)
scanModem update of: 2008_07_25
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Attached USB devices are:

USB modems not recognized
=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===
A candidate modem is not evident among the PCI devices:

0002:20:0f.0 Class ffff: Illegal Vendor ID Unknown device ffff (rev ff)
------------------------------------------------
with USB and bridge devices not displayed.
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.
The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.

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/2.6.17-10-powerpc/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
