Hi! I'm confused some. I have a laptop (Asus G2S) and Windows says that mymodem is Motorola SM56. At the same time, the scanModem utility offersto intall the driver for SmartLink (see below). How is it possible?Also will it work in case of amd64? (I have Ubuntu 8.04 x64). Pleasehelp me.

Cases are:1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.htmlfor the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97modem controllers.In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support theslmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must beinstalled to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bitcomponent3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modesare x86_64 competent.

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 installedin /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The alsorequired headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-devpackages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them athttp://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 ofsome FileName.h (stdio.h for example), thenSome additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.The minimal additional packages are libc6-devand 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-develwill install needed packages.For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command todisplay the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.comOnce downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,they can be installed alltogether with:$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 313600 2007-10-05 00:48 /usr/sbin/pppd 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/pppdor under Ubuntu related Linuxes sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/optionsasyncmap 0noauthcrtsctslockhide-passwordmodemproxyarplcp-echo-interval 30lcp-echo-failure 4noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission deniedsee http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
