High Definition Audio (HDA) cards can themselves host a softmodem chipset, with both audio+modem supported by a snd-hda-intel driver. The ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders. Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding a possible Conexant modem chip impervious to ALSA diagnostics. Proceeding through alternative possibilties. Summary card and chipset information is in: /proc/asound/cards: 0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 VIA 8237 with ALC655 at 0xd800, irq 19 /proc/asound/pcm: 00-01: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 1 : capture 1 00-00: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 4 : capture 1 A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAbrian.tgz USB modem not detected by lsusb For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:0a.0 11c1:0620 11c1:0621 Communication controller: Agere Systems Unknown device 0620 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:0a.0 ---- === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. === === Next deducing cogent software === There is candidate modem software.

Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer, or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced: with varying support under Linux.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.1 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-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 libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. 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 pacakage 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 Checking pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 12:57 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
