Folks, looking to get the modem working on my Lenovo T61 laptop. I have
tried to figure it out for myself, but nothing I have done has worked.
I want to get it working as I anticipate an extended hospital stay in
the next few months where I will be behind a plain old telephone line.

Kind regards, Doug

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      


Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems.  Cases are:        
1)
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html 
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem
controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the
slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit
component                                                                                                                                    
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are
x86_64 competent.                                                   
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on
x86_64 systems.                                                      

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

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:
2.6.30.9_102.fc11.x86_64                                
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

 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/2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64/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

$  apt-get update
