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 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are: snd_hda_intel Attached USB devices are: ID 152d:0310 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. If a cellphone is not detected, see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-878554.html A sample report is: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg00578.html If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.

If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. ===== 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.

If a High Definition Audio card is present, if might be hosted on the Subsystem. If your modem is an external USB type, connected by an external serial cable, or mounted internally on an ISA card, then 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.

Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and to test get the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz from: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.5 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.5 linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic 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.
