Marvin,
I am still having trouble with the modem. When I run sudo ./setup This
is what I get.
jaysen@jaysens-laptop:~$ cd Downloads/
jaysen@jaysens-laptop:~/Downloads$ cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.3/
jaysen@jaysens-laptop:~/Downloads/SLMODEMD.gcc4.3$ sudo ./setup

With root permission, the typical activation command is:

for modems of the AC'97 family

for Smartlink chipset PCI card modems:
slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
for Smartlink chipset USB modems
slmodemd -c USA /dev/slusb0
If not in the USA, replace USA with a country from the output of:
slmodemd --countrylist
For other slmodemd parameters, query with:
slmodemd --help

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.

Still confused here. Last night it acted like the modem was detected.
gnome-ppp even detected it but now it can't find it. I don't know what
is going on. Can you help?

Jaysen,
The Makefile stuff refers to the original slmodem software set, which
I used to compile the slmodemd you just installed.
So just ignore it as already done.
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Motorola Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x10573055
Your audio + modem driver is the snd-hda-intel.ko automatically
installed in support of the High Definition Audio Card
whose Subsystem hosts the Motorola Si3054 0x10573055 modem chip
Such chips do little more then specify which software should be used
under Microsoft, which would be a Motorola software package
instructing the CPU what to do.
Under Linux there is no Motorola software, but instead the Smart
slmodemd utility (not a driver) substitutes.
The
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6

modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
did effectively activate the modem. The Ubuntu sl-modem-daemon
package does the same thing, additionally running upon bootup the:
slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
You don't need the sl-modem-source package, as it is not for HDA modem
type hardware
With the modem activated, you should be able to open a console and
further test the modem.
But first do while online
$ sudo apt-get install wvdial
When done
$ sudo wvdialconf
should find the modem
Read the wvdial.txt sample and
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
to edit in your dialout info.
They shut down ethernet/LAN/wireless or they will block new DNS for the modem.
THen try a dialout with
$ sudo wvdial
Please write to the List, not me directly as I am ony online in the evening.

Hi Marvin,
I am very confused. I downloaded the package, extracted it and ran the sudo
./setup Then I read the README file which tells me about a MAKEFILE that I
need to review and edit if necessary but no MAKEFILE exists in the package.

when I run sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 I get the following output
below.

Ubuntu 9.04 has an Softmodem driver that i can install from the restricted
drivers manager which basically installed the slmodemd application. How is
this method different? I really am stuck here.

Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
Within the SLMODEMD.gcc4.3 folder, run
$ sudo ./setup
which will run elementary tests and output instructions. This "sudo
./setup" does not have to be repeated again.
Read the instructions in the SLMODEMD.gcc4.3/ folder for details.
Info us in some detail at which step you may run into trouble.

Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:

In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd
helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit

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/2.6.28-13-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:

In case of a message like:
