The major first problem is that:
[    1.827556] serial 0000:00:1f.6: PCI INT B disabled
That is the modem hardware is not being activated because of a
resource conflict.  Since the interrupt/IRQ is being shared with eth0
(ethernet),  this is almost certainly the conflict to be removed.
Nothing else can be achieved until this is done.

The first thing to try is:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
and then rerun
$ ./scanModem
to assess whether the modem is now active.  If might also be desirable
to first unload and reload the potential modem driver: snd-intel-hda
Unfortunately this is not simple achieveable under Ubuntu, because of
the high priority given to this audio+modem driver.

If possible, the modem info should be accessed during a Microsoft
bootup, as described in SoftModem.txt.  That should report as to
whether the modem chip of the audio subsystem is Conexant, requiring
the Linuxant hsfmodem driver, or whether the slmodem helper +
snd-intel-hda driver is appropriate, once the resource conflict is
removed.

Gillam, please also send the List the outputs of
$ lsmod
and
$ dmesg | grep eth0
which should allow us to identify the conflicting eth0 driver.

For now please send directly to Antonio & me as well
DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, since Jacques reports the resend function at
DISCUSS may be offline.
