scanModem update of:  2009_11_14



The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on your System.

For Ubuntu Jaunty users, there are at the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/:

    wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip   for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.

    wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip    for 32 bit systems.

These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your Linux partition:

$ unzip wv*.zip

Within the new folder:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

will  complete the wvdial installation

Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.



Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,

following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms



There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files

===== 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 1.0.20

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





The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

-----------------------





about /proc/asound/cards:

------------------------

0 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB

                     HDA ATI SB at 0xd0500000 irq 16



PCI slot 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card

The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

UNEXPECTED HDA diagnostic outcome.

=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===

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.





Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 00:14.2:

   Modem chipset not detected on

NAME="Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller "

CLASS=0403

PCIDEV=1002:437b

SUBSYS=1179:ff00

IRQ=16

HDA=1002:437b

SOFT=1002:437b.HDA





High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,

and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel

A modem was not detected on HDA card 1002:437b.

If another modem card is present, then most likely 1002:437b does not host a modem.

If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:

   1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1002:437b, as Conexant chips

are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics

2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.

Try detection with Root permission:

   sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

Support type needed or chipset:


Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:

1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt

The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.



2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. 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/





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



From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php

download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.31_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

Under Linux unpack with:

$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip

Then install with:

$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb

Subsequently, the modem should be found with

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Edit in your personal information with:

$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

and try dialing out with:

$ sudo wvdial.

See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.



The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate.



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:    2.6.31_14_generic

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:

 sudo 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:

 sudo 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:

   sudo 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:

   sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf



Read DOCs/Conexant.txt



Writing DOCs/Conexant.txt



Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt

============ end Smartlink section =====================





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



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 4.4

  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.









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:

   -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 277352 2009-02-20 18:25 /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)

       sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

or under Ubuntu related Linuxes

   sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd



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

Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.



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