Modem on Toshiba Satellite A205-S4777

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Folks,
  I'm trying to get the modem on my Toshiba laptop working under Ubuntu
8.04.  I've enclosed my ModemData.txt file, as suggested at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#scanModem .  Many thanks for any help!

 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: 4.2.4


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.2
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-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:

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

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