The primary PCI & Subsystem pair  is novel and 
the Subsystem ID is not alone decisive for modem codec identification.


===== 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 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are: None


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-02: ALC883 Analog : ALC883 Analog : capture 2
00-01: ALC883 Digital : ALC883 Digital : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC883 Analog : ALC883 Analog : playback 1 : capture 2

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xe2280000 irq 16

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
 /lib/modules/2.6.23-parsix-16/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
UNEXPECTED HDA diagnostic outcome.

The soft modem is in the ac97/mc97 category. However the diagnostics were not effective,
and an archival record for is lacking for the modem codec of pair:
	2003:8800 1801:2800
Try to acquire more information by running the modem diagnostics under a Microsoft boot,
as described in SoftModem.txt

 High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem, 
 and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
 A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:27d8.
 If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:27d8 does not host a modem.
 If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
	1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:27d8, as Conexant chips
 are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
	2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:
	 wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

Support type needed or chipset:	

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

 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: 4.2.3


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.2
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.23-parsix-16/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.


Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-wlan-ng.tar.bz2

For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-23 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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
