-------------------------- System information ---------------------------- CPU=x86_64, Linux version 2.6.31-14-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) ) #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 scanModem update of: 2009_12_29 The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on your System. For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like: wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems. wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems. wvdial_karmic_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 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 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are: snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m snd_hda_intel Attached USB devices are: ID 13fe:1c00 Kingston Technology Company Inc.

Read DOCs/Conexant.txt From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_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 Read DOCs/Conexant.txt Writing DOCs/Conexant.txt Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:0e.1: Modem chipset not detected on NAME="Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=10de:0371 SUBSYS=1043:822d IRQ=21 HDA=10de:0371 SOFT=10de:0371.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 10de:0371. If another modem card is present, then most likely 10de:0371 does not host a modem. If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are: 1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 10de:0371, 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/ Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt ============ end Smartlink section ===================== 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 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 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.
