hi guys,
i've just installed xubuntu 9.04 on my old laptop and i have some
problem with my internal modem, running wvdial it says "no modem wa
detected"!
could someone give me help ? here attached the modem_data.txt

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd.
Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt
Message http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg01358.html
is in part summarized below.
The snd-trident driver is not fully compatible with slmodemd support.
The may be errors written to /var/log/messages like:
codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x1300]
Check with:
$ dmesg | grep semaphore
A potential work around is to unload drivers:
# modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
# modprobe -r snd-intel8x0
# modprobe -r snd-trident
Then reload only:
# modprobe snd-intel8x0
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
and test the modem.
If snd-trident cannot be unloaded, it may be necessary to disable it by:
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/sound/pci/trident/
# mv snd-trident.ko snd-trident.ko~
After a reboot, verify that the driver is not loaded. It should NOT be
disaplayed by:
$ lsmod | grep snd-trident.
Once a success with the modem has been obtained, the setup can be made
easier by
adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (or equivalent on your System)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m
blacklist snd_trident
and to /etc/modules
snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0m
On Ubuntu systems such edits of Root permission files can be done with:
$ sudo gedit path_to/FileName

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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
