The PCI slot 00:07.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.
===== 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 1.0.18
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-00: CONEXANT Analog : CONEXANT Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: Conexant Digital : Conexant Digital : playback 1
00-03: NVIDIA HDMI : NVIDIA HDMI : playback 1
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xc0000000 irq 20
PCI slot 00:07.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
New HDA card type:
UNEXPECTED HDA diagnostic outcome.

with USB and bridge devices not displayed.
If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
will be able to dial out with Root permission:
sudo wvdial
Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems
If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the VENdor and DEVice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
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
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx
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 wlan0 wmaster0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
