Isaac,
Could you please send us the result showing up on your screen when
giving the command lspci -n ? (sudo may be necessary)
Marv
A correction is needed in scanModem.
Isaac's report claims a modem candidate at:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
03:01.5 104c:8038 1028:0182 Communication controller: Texas
Instruments PCI6515 SmartCard Controller
and suggests it is a Conexant modem:
For candidate modem in: 03:01.5
0780 Communication controller: Texas Instruments PCI6515 SmartCard Controller
Primary device ID: 104c:8038
Support type needed or chipset: HCF.HSF
This is absolutely incorrect. This device is manufactured by Texas
Instruments for Dell. It is the chip in the Smart Card reader
(encryption, identification) of their Latitude D610 model.
I am asking Isaac to supply the output of lspci -n for the very
likely case that the registered Class for this device is the cause of
the error.

download hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full_k2.6.32_24_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 wvdial.

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: 2.6.32_24_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, the needed drivers
will be auto compiled anyway. Alternatively, 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

104c:8038 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcfpcimodem package.
If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.3
The patch utility 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/2.6.32-24-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
