Tomasz & Jacqueline,

I see you selected the correct driver and all is well, but one/two questions

Did you install the libc-dev, and linux-libc-dev packages as scanModem
requests?

=====================

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

======================

If you did, then we go to the IRQ sharing problem reported by
scanModem, please do as it says and send us ModemData.txt if possible,
also readup on Bootup.txt in DOCs folder

======================

For candidate card in slot 00:03.1, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
PCI slot    PCI ID        SubsystemID    Name
----------    ---------    ---------    --------------
00:03.1    11c1:045c    8086:2205    Serial controller: Agere Systems
LT WinModem

Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
11:      20540    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, yenta, yenta, CS46XX, eth0
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:03.1 ----
[    4.556009] pci 0000:00:03.1: reg 10 io port: [0x1840-0x1847]
[    4.556009] pci 0000:00:03.1: reg 14 32bit mmio: [0xe8121000-0xe8121fff]
[    4.556009] pci 0000:00:03.1: supports D1 D2

[    7.464030] serial 0000:00:03.1: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKC] -> GSI 11
(level, low) -> IRQ 11

The PCI slot 00:03.1 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.

======================

Regards,

Antonio
