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

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package
with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read
DOCs/Conexant.txt
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.28_13_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See DOCs/Testing.txt for details.
The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above
procedures
are not adequate.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to
find
the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros, there
are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within the
FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.28_13_generic
They can be found through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home folder
is
OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm
permission:
sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
Support for Conexant chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards may
require
installation of additional packages, one of the alsa-driver-linuxant
packages
on http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ At the same time download the
alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch , in case it prove to be later needed. During
the
hsfmodem install, there will be a message if there is necessary
installation
of
alsa-driver-linuxant
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm
permission:
sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
There may a message that "Dependencies" are not satisfied. In this case
the
Ubuntu/Debian packages to be installed are linux-libc-dev & libc6-dev.
Package
names may be different for other Linuxes. If not on your install CD,
these
packages can be searched for at http://packages.ubuntu.com. After
download,
they can be coinstalled with:
sudo dpkg -i li*.deb
Again try the alsa-driver-linuxant
There may be a message that the patch must be applied. In this case get
the
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch
See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement snd-hda-intel + its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

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:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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
