The PCI slot 00:0f.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.
===== 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 1.0.17
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: SIS966 [HDA SIS966], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC662 Analog : ALC662 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [SIS966 ]: HDA-Intel - HDA SIS966
HDA SIS966 at 0xb0100000 irq 18
PCI slot 00:0f.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Motorola Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x10573055
Subsystem Id: 0x10190000
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:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
If not a Conexant modem, the driver snd-hda-intel with its dependent drivers:
snd_hda_intel 381488 3
snd_pcm 83204 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
snd 63268 15
snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
snd_page_alloc 16136 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
----------
provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.
=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-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
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
