is my modem listed/supported

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have an Emachine with a modem that come plugged into the eitehr pci or
isa slot (I will be honest, I haven't looked where in the pc).

I have attached my 1read.txt and ModemData.txt.

is my modem listed/supported with your drivers?

If you want help from the email group Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, PLEASE join the List
at http://www.linmodems.org . Otherwise your messages will be delayed until the evening,
waiting for someone to verify it is not junk mail, before forwarding through the List server.
   
The files in this Modem/ folder have the following roles:

ModemData.txt - Diagnostics and accumulated information cogent to your modem and host system.
     This is the ONLY file which should be sent to the List  DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , 
     if further help is needed. Send your email and attachments as plain text as 
     other formats are rejected by the List Server, to avoid virus transmission.
     Always send the ENTIRE ModemData.txt,  as It includes subtle diagnostic ouputs needed 
     to best guide you. Please in the covering email mention your Country, to enable Country 
     specific advice.
     Always use the most recent update of scanModem accessed ONLY at
	   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz 
     to produce ModemData.txt
     URLs to cogent advice are regularly updated, so your problem may be solved therein.
     Please Do NOT send  Do NOT send other files in this folder Modem/

Several informative files without diagnostics are in the DOCs subfolder.
A file(s) specific to your modem chipset will be written, such as:
  Smartlink.txt, Conexant.txt, Intel.txt , etc

YourModem.txt - Guidance about operating your particular System, for your benefit
     It should NOT be sent to Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rational.txt - Motivations of this scanModem package.  

DriverCompiling.txt -  Explains the roles of additional files which may have to be installed
   to support compiling of modem drivers, and the steps to take.   

SoftModem.txt - Information and instructions about "soft modems".
     For these modems, additional steps may be necessary for choice of supporting software.
     The primary PCI ID is that of the host audio or modem controller, which can support diverse Subsystems. It is the chipset of the Subsystem which determines the software needed.

ModemTesting.txt SHOULD be read, but after drivers have been installed.

InfoGeneral.txt has general information about the status of winmodem support under Linux,
    Do read it if ModemData.txt  reports that your current modem is not supported under Linux. 

Unsubscribe.txt - Howto terminate email tranmissions from the List.

If you are Linux newcomer, please do locate your local Linux group through:
    http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html  .  If you are not comfortable with English,
    a local Linux user can often be of substantial assistance in getting you on to the Internet.
 
 Only plain text email is forwarded by the  Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server,

 Support type needed or chipset:	HCF.HSF
 


For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt

 10de:03f0 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
 use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcfpcimodem package.
 If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
 for details and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


Modem support packages from Linuxant include resources for compiling drivers.  
If an installer package matching your kernel_version  is not provided,
just install a generic code package.

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.38_10_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.
 
 The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate.

Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within the FileName,
your KernelVersion:	2.6.38_10_generic
They can be found through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php 
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of the 
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home folder is OK)
and unzipped with:
	unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
  sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
  rpm -i hsf*.rpm

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.5.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.5.2


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.5
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-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

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0

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
