===== 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 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are: None


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

Support type needed or chipset:	hsfmodem


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

 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:	2.6.25.5_1.1_default
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

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:
   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:
	 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:
	 wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

Writing DOCs/Conexant.txt


 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.3.1 and a compiler is not installed

 linux-headers-2.6.25.5-1.1-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. 

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	gcc-4.3 make kernel-source-2.6.25.5-1.1-default


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


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsrwxr-x+ 1 root dialout 304644 2008-06-06 23:21 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
usehostname
noipdefault
noauth

nodetach
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-max-configure 60
lcp-restart 2

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 ppp0 wlan0 wmaster0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
