Hi mainteiners, I'm here to ask a suggestion to fit an Hamlet Pci modem to use as fax. First I copied the modemdata.txt and then the efax output log Thanks and Regards Luca Cusi Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, as HTML can contain viruses. Use as the email Subject Line: YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.31-14-generic 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. Responses from Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx are sometimes blocked by an Internet Provider mail filters.

If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are: 1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:2668, as Conexant chips are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics 2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.

Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.4.tar.gz from: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.4 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-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. Compressed files at: /usr/src/sl-modem.tar.bz2 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.
