Ryan,

Your modem is supported by martian-20080625.tar.gz code^(2).  However
as scanModem detects you have a modem interrupt assignment^(3) and
also some additional packages are needed^(1):

1)

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

2)

 The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.

 See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.

3)
 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
===================================
 The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!!
 The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!!
 Possible corrections are:
  1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a
non-PNP/Other Operating System type.
  Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
     http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within:
Additional Resourcces.
  2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
     Here is an example paragraph from  /boot/grub/menu.lst :
       title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
       root            (hd0,6)
       kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro
pci=routeirq
       initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
       savedefault
  2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq".
  3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
  4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
  5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.
=====================================

 The PCI slot 01:0b.0 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.

If something does not work as advertised, please let us know so we can
see how to help.

Regards,

Antonio
