Hello,
I am using a Toshiba A105-S4334 with Debian Etch r4a installed from KDE
CD1. If I need to answer more questions, please be patient; I am borrowing
an internet connection to send this so it may take a while to reply.
Thank you,
StephenC.
I believe that I have followed the directions correctly, but I am getting
stuck. Below is my error and my ModemData.txt. First my error:
When I get to
" and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
"
Here is what I get
"scl1:/usr/sbin# slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
slmodemd: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found
(required by slmodemd)
scl1:/usr/sbin# slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
slmodemd: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found

/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
/lib/tls/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6
scl1:/usr/sbin#
"
I've installed "libc6", "libc6-i686", and "libc6-dev". I tried to to
"apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel" as suggested further down, but
that gave me:
"scl1:~# apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel

E: Couldn't find package linux-kernel-devel

Here is my ModemData.txt:

===== 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 1.0.12

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x11c13026
The softmodem chip 0x11c13026 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:

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
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number

Completed candidate modem analyses.
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/2.6.18-6-686/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.
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-18
may be needed to support driver compiling.
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
