Hello, I'm Dustin and I'm trying to get my modem to work on Ubuntu.  I
have read through the ModemData.txt file many times but can not find any
useful information about my modem.  I have a dual-boot system with Windows
Vista.  In Windows, the device manager says that the modem is a Toshiba
Software Modem by Agere.  Here is my ModemData.txt file, can you please
help me with this problem?

===== 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.

The ALSA verion is 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are: None


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x11c11040
If not a Conexant modem, the driver
agrmodem+agrserial+patched_snd-hda-intel with its dependent drivers:

provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

 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.

 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 needed. 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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

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

In case of a message like:

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: ath0 eth0

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
shooting be necessary.
