Wvdial package for ubuntu

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello!
Are you there!

Question: Is the wvdial package the same as wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2_i386.deb, wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2_amd64.deb, wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2.tar and wvdial-1.60.tar, ? because they are the ones I downloaded. If they are not the same then how do I get wvdial without the extensions.? And if they are the same, how do I install the package then, without using cmd prompt. I'm still a newbies as I said before.
I'm using ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition.
Help.
Thanks.

===== 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:

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

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 and one of the agrsm-tools packages. 
The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs:
   11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. 
   They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package.
The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity

For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support
through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage
of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent.
Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem 
specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades.

Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.26.28 and later kernels. 
A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier kernels.
For example, for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, linux-image + linux-headers packages 
for earlier 2.26.27 series Intrepid kernels can be installed. Search for them at:
   http://packages.ubuntu.com


The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type installers (supporting Ubuntu too)
are copied to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ . Thereat the current package
is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted on High Definition Audio cards.  
Read the Modem/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

 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. 

 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.3
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
