a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

===== 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 1.0.18
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair.
One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
Thereat get the agrsm-howto.txt, through the compiling steps are only cogent to modems
with 11c1:0260, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package.
If your Distro uses Debian packages, also get the agrsm-tools.deb package.
For AgereSystems/LSI 11c11040 chip hosted on High Definition Audio cards, your Linux
Distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem
specific dkms-agrsm resources. For an example of what to expect, read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.html
The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
whereat a few differnt packaging types are available. For your convenience
dkms-agrsm-CurrentVersion.deb are also available at to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
The .deb packages can be manually installed by:
$ sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb agrsm*.deb
which will sequentially process dkms, dkms-agrsm and the agrsm-tools packages.
Read the DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-server/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/atl2.tar.bz2 /usr/src/gspca.tar.bz2 /usr/src/qc-usb.tar.bz2
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)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
