I just purchased an ideapad y150 and I love it! I was hoping that
someone here could help me figure out how to get the dial up modem
working though. I'm new to Linux and I think I might have screwed
something up fiddling around.
I followed the dial up modem instructions on ubuntu's support pages and
ran scanModem. The results:

===== 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:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
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:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1

Subsystem Id: 0x17aa3d7d
Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573055
The softmodem chip 0x10573055 is in principle supported by the COMM
support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version
1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way
be necessary. Instructions for Upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent
driver set are at:

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

The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x10573055
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel
audio+modem driver
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
This was quite an overwhelming amount of information for me, but it
seemed like I should be using ALSA drivers so I followed the
instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Di...owto/AlsaModem
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/AlsaModem> and
installed the slmodem-daemon and slmodem-source packages using synaptic.
and ran sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart and got this output:
Shutting down SmartLink Modem driver normally ... no slmodemd daemon
running.
Unloading modem driver from kernel ... snd_atiixp_modem.
FATAL: Module ungrab_winmodem not found
FATAL: Module slamr not found.
Starting SmartLink Modem driver for: auto.
Creating /dev/modem symlink, pointing to: /dev/ttySL0.
Well, that made me think I needed to follow the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Di...owto/Smartlink
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Smartlink>
At the first step to compile the driver things seemed to be working out,
but failed halfway through. The log file looks like this:

Clearly, I'm in way over my head, since I don't understand just what all
the commands were meant to do anyway, I'm not able to make sense of
where they went wrong. Any guidance would be appreciated.
