John, scanModem reports that you have an Agere LT Modem supported by martian drivers: Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are: 00:0e.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem (rev 02) 00:11.6 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 80) High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips. For candidate card in slot 00:0e.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:0e.0 11c1:044c 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:0e.0 ---- [ 0.088992] pci 0000:00:0e.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0xfde00000-0xfde000ff] [ 0.088998] pci 0000:00:0e.0: reg 14 io port: [0xb000-0xb007] [ 0.089004] pci 0000:00:0e.0: reg 18 io port: [0xec00-0xecff] [ 0.089032] pci 0000:00:0e.0: supports D2 [ 0.089035] pci 0000:00:0e.0: PME# supported from D2 D3hot [ 0.089038] pci 0000:00:0e.0: PME# disabled The PCI slot 00:0e.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. 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. Download the file http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20100123.tar.gz You also need to get the linux-lib6-devel or similar : 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. After you install the linux-libc-dev and libc6-devel packages for your kernel use $ sudo dpkg -i linux-libc* or $ sudo dpkg -i libc6* and then after the installation of these packages is successfull proceed to unpack martian-full-20100123.tar.gz package $ tar -zxvf martian-full-20100123.tar.gz $ cd martian-full-20100123 $ make clean $ make $ sudo make install the proceed with $ sudo martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem leave it running in the background, and open up another terminal window and type $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and hopefully it finds modem port /dev/ttySM0 as the modem port. Try that and report back.
