Antonio,
Unfortunately I don't have any other version of ubuntu except 8.04.1
and 9.04 available now.
I installed the daemon (using deb packages) but still couldn't get the
modem working in 9.04
By the way, what is dkms?
Marvin,
Do you mean "Stupid Mode = yes"?
As I checked the man page but I couldn't find such option.
If so, I think I didn't have that option before and added it for
troubleshooting. I think it is useful when you have connected to the
remote host but my modem doesn't even dial!
To install the modem, I had been restarting the computer going from
Linux to Windows and vise versa, you know how it like :)
Finally I wiped 9.04 out and Installed 8.04.1, I can access 9.04 using
the LiveCD.
Anyway I don't know it is a bug in the kernel or what. 8.04.1 kernel
is 2.6.24-19-generic and has no problem.
And finally thanks a lot for your support, at least I could use the
Internet in 8.04.1 and I prefer 8.04.1 with Internet to 9.04 without
Internet. I really appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Mehdi

===== 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.
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

------------------------
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xfebf4000 irq 16
PCI slot 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573055
The softmodem chip 0x10573055 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary.
Instructions for Upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at:

============ 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: 4.3.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-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

For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ get faxing.tar.gz
It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 wlan0 wmaster0
