Minimal compiling resources appear complete:make utility - /usr/bin/makeCompiler version 4.3linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/buildHowever 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-devIf an alternate ethernet connection is available $ ,apt-get update$ will install needed packagesapt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel.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 pppd properties -:rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 273064 2008-10-16 04:51 /usr/sbin/pppdIn case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.htmlTo enable dialout without Root permission do $ or under Ubuntu related Linuxes:su - root (not for Ubuntu)sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppdsudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppdChecking settings of: asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx/etc/ppp/optionsIn case of a message like see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html:Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission deniedRead Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation ========================================================== -------------------------------------- /.Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.Checking for modem support lines:device/modem symbolic link: slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0 /: Within /etc/udev/ files:Within /etc/modprobe.conf files:etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem:# Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem drivers/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem:# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem:# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem--------- Within any ancient /etc/devfs files:Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files:end modem support lines--------
