CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.3
(Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009
scanModem update of: 2009_08_15
The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
For Ubuntu Jaunty users, there are at the bottom of http://
linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your
Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

Primary device ID: 1813:4000
Support type needed or chipset: AmbientTech
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read DOCs/
InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
Vendor=1813 Ambient Tech was acquired by Intel with its HaM (Host
assisted Modem) chipsets.
There is no support under 2.6.n kernels!!
Intel-v92ham-453.tgz 2.4.n kernels was the FINAL 2.4.n update for
HaM modems, available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/ham/
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
It is NOT functional when compiled under 2.6.n kernels.
But under the 2.4.nn kernels, all HaM chipsets were supported,
with a single EXCEPTION: the odd PCI_ID 1813:4100 modems. For
the explanation, see message:

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
