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

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
The modem requires a dgcmodem package.
For all code packages from Linuxant.com, either a driver set matching
the boot kernel will be installed,
or the drivers will first be compiled and then installed. The expert on
modem software for Linux is
"Support (Jonathan)" <modem.support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc for
eventually download of a dgcmodem-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 dgcmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides
compiling support

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.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
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

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed
to match your modem's port.
