YourName, YourCountry BLAG release 70000 (sugarwater)
Kernel kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

CPU=i686, BLAG release 70000 (sugarwater)
Kernel
Linux version 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 (kojibuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 23:10:59 EDT 2007
scanModem update of: 2009_08_15
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_hda_intel
Attached USB devices are:

For candidate card in slot 00:14.2, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
===== 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 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------

00-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 2
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xc0000000 irq 16
PCI slot 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-91.fc7/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
UNEXPECTED HDA diagnostic outcome.
Modem support under STAC92xx audio card hosts may require upgrade
of snd-hda-intel + its dependent drivers to ALSA version 1.0.16.
The following modem only worked after the upgrade from to 1.0.16 from 1.0.14

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
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support
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: 2.6.22.9_91.fc7
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:
dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 make kernel-source-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
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
