Good morning Antonio! I found something from you about the USRobotics
USR5637 USB modem, and I'm assuming that DIDN'T work out on Ubuntu

I
don't find anything on the web that confirms that any other USB modem
does
work. Or a replacement internal one for the VAIO?
I'm reluctant to install an older Ubuntu version as you suggest Marv
as
sooner or later it would not be supported, because it would take so
much
time to go back and forth unless one version can be accessed within
another
(at home I have only dial-up and use it many times each day) and
because
of
a potential problem with Thunderbird: due to family needs I go
between
the
2
laptops (I can check email via wifi when not at home), must keep my
Thunderbird profile on an external drive, and the profile has been
severely
compromised when accessed through different systems/versions (I'd
like
to
have the latest Ubuntu on both machines, and do need to use both to
run
ALL
of my software). If it were for the occasional fax, this option would
be
fine.
Maybe you can install an older kernel, for the meantime to give some
time for a fix.
So I'll assume that the message:
no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot
Note: HDA support not compiled in the driver
...leads me too a dead end. On both computers, alas.
On this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant
shouldn't this link:
For Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal): You can follow the steps on this
thread.
:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781268
be removed? or why would it not work in my case?
Might be due to some kernel problem* , kernel devel package/kernel
headers, some type of mismatch when I see the errors in the messages
that you have sent us:

This line ``*** NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED

'' is the one that makes me believe that the running kernel is not the
same gcc as the one in the system. In this case and in others it is
important that the running kernel and the gcc be the same so that no
errors occurs. If you can you can confirm
run
$ uname -a
and
$ gcc --version
and that may tell us why things are not working. To get it working,
the kernel and the gcc must be the same.
If you want and have access to a livecd like
Knoppix/Slax/Porteus/Puppy/..., you can use some of these at least to
get a connection to internet via dialup. Puppy in many cases has out
of box support for many winmodems. In porteus I have successfully
built some buildscripts to build a module that will make the modems
work. Some modems except the hsf/hcf modems since these are
proprietary, except for the 14 kbps one but that one many people would
get mad in the case that it is built(they would want full speed, and
it is a difficult to accomodate to many people*). One person built
such a module for slax, but I have no status for it as Slax has not
been updated for a while. Without screwing up your running system
and/or installing again you may try out one livecd(if you can get one)
and try the driver and see if you can make the modem work and connect
via dialup or install a kernel that matches gcc and try the fixes
again.
* unless you have a Dell machine, then you can use the oem drivers and
you can get full speed on the modem.
If you have a cell phone, you may also use it as a modem to connect to
internet. In ModemData.txt, there is a report you can see :
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
Don't get discouraged, a little bit of patience can go a long way. I
almost forgot, you can also virtualize a version of linux and with an
older kernel you can run an older installation along with your current
one and have a working dialup connection on that one with a working
driver. These are things you can take a look at.
When there were no fixes for smartlink modem after kernel 2.6.30/31, I
used Slax livecd with older kernel to access the internet and then
later the fixes came along thanks to a person that figured things out.
You may try to do something similar and not be left without internet
for a fix to come in the meantime. Hang in there! You can do it.
Regards,
Antonio
I've much appreciated your advice - thanks!

Subject: Re: no dial-up: hsfmodem and alsa-driver-linuxant problem?
Thank you Antonio and Marv - really appreciate it!
After another full day I'll try to take your advice tomorrow Marv,
and
it
seems from Ganton at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597605&page=4
that the most recent kernel that will work will be Ubuntu 10.10. Or
could
I
buy an external modem on ebay that is said to work on Linux? If you
have
further ideas after reading what follows (especially, re "Warning: no
device
detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot" and "Note:
HDA
support not compiled in the driver"), I would be most grateful!
Today I removed alsa-driver-linuxant and installed
hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full,
and got code similar to yours Antonio.
But an "hsfconfig" resulted in (excerpts):
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.80.02.06full
When reporting a problem for the first time, please send
us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".
No pre-built modules for: Ubuntu-11.04 linux-2.6.38-11-generic
i686-SMP
...and the punchline:
ERROR: Module build failed!
- - -
buildlog excerpts:
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:408:8: error: 'MUTEX' undeclared
here
(not
in a function)
make[2]: *** [/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules] Error 2
so I again did this:
replace DECLARE_MUTEX with DEFINE_SEMAPHORE in:
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osnvm.c
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/GPL/serial_cnxt.c
replace .ioctl with .compat_ioctl in:
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osdiag.c
and "hsfconfig" got...
Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require
reboot
Note: HDA support not compiled in the driver
then I ran everything (whew!) from "Ganton's Avatar" at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781268
and again got exactly the same message with "hsfconfig"
(issue not [SOLVED] as stated)
with another hsfconfig, it asked
Warning: existing driver modules found under:
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/
Would you like to keep using them? [no]
...and I pressed [enter]
but got similar results
- - - (end of exploits for the day, besides a little blackberry
picking)-

Thanks again for helping,
Jeff

To complete the installation and configuration of your modem,
please run "hsfconfig" (or "/usr/sbin/hsfconfig")
Might it be with Ubuntu? I used generic package with

Maybe Marv can test to find out what could be wrong?

Jeffrey,
In the case you provided, you installed/tried to install the
alsa-linuxant package?
You may not have needed this package.
You do have kernel sources and compiler ready. However, the
replacements on the hsfmodem would differ with the ones suggested by
Jonathan(Linuxant support), DECLARE_MUTEX, with DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
after
you have detected where it bombs out or wait a bit till
they(Linuxant)
patch up the code and make it ready to work.
If someone has suggestions, please forward them to Jeffrey.

I'm not sure if any of this will be of use to you, but am

Is
2)
an
issue? Also would it have been important to reboot at certain

Should
I install a new modem in either beast? I so depend on dial-up! Many
thanks!

Subject: Re: no dial-up: hsfmodem and alsa-driver-linuxant problem?
Jeffrey,
In the x86_64 bit machine, if you had 32 bit linux installed, it
would
be a nice opportunity for you to check the modified driver *to see
if
it would work*, but since it is 64 bit you get the message directly
from ModemData.txt
There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the
modem
may
be
supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce
x86_64 processors.
* driver
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-11c11040_20110811_i386.deb
+ new agrsm tools
For the other modem, Jonathan at Linuxant has posted ways to
circumvent the errors:

Hi,
this is a known build issue with recent kernels, even with the
latest
release of the driver. A used provided the following workaround to
solve it:
---
replace DECLARE_MUTEX with DEFINE_SEMAPHORE in:
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osnvm.c
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/GPL/serial_cnxt.c
replace .ioctl with .compat_ioctl in:
- /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osdiag.c
---
This build problem will be fixed in a future release of the driver.

So you may try the fixes suggested by Jonathan in the meantime. Or
you have the option to try the driver 11c11040 but on 32 bit linux.
Hopefully you can get one of these modems to work.

Antonio

I have spent many many hours trying to get dial-up working on two
laptops
and would so appreciate your help. Dial-up on either one would be
just
fine.
I'm assuming it will be impossible on the HP laptop (64-bit) as I
found
this:
"Current support for the 11c11040 modem does NOT exist on a
non-x86
system
(e.g. AMD, or x86_64.) This is because there is a proprietary core
in
the
code compiled for x86 systems."
On the VAIO (32-bit) it worked perfectly in an earlier version of
Ubuntu
before upgrading.
I can't seem to find an appropriate driver at www.linuxant.com for
my
Linux
version 2.6.38-11-generic.
Alsa-driver-linuxant doesn't seem to be properly installed.
I get this error message:
ERROR: Module build failed!
Please examine the log file
"/etc/hsfmodem/log/buildlog-20110824182445.txt"
to determine why.
