           YourName, YourCountry  kernel 2.6.17-5mdv 
 With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
 YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry 
 can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

CPU=i686,  Mandriva ,  ALSA_version=1.0.12
Linux version 2.6.17-5mdv (rtp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-3mdk)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:32:31 EDT 2006
 scanModem update of:  2011_08_08
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttyS0
Distrib_ID=MandrivaLinux


Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel.  For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 

 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
                  

Attached USB devices are:
 ID 09da:000a A4 Tech Co., Ltd 
 ID 04cf:8819 Myson Century, Inc. 
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

If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please
provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
02:00.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem
High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.

For candidate card in slot 02:00.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 02:00.0	8086:1040	8086:1000	Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:00.0 ----

=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 02:00.0:
	Modem chipset  detected on

CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=8086:1040

      Primary device ID:  8086:1040
 Support type needed or chipset:	INTEL536EP
 


 Since 2006, Intel appears to have ceased its modem code updates for Linux.
 The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
       http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
 Beneficially, Philippe Vouters has been provided updates as the Linux kernel evolves.
 But intensive personal support is not feasible, see:  http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
 The code for the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems is now at:
      http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/ , previously http://x9000.fr
Copies are also stored at:
       http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
For Ubuntu Linux users with Intel 536 and 537 chipsets, there are driver 
installation packages available thru http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-modems

 Read DOCs/Intel.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

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

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1

 linux-headers-2.6.17-5mdv resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.17-5mdv


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 pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-t 1 root root 304536 Aug  9  2006 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options


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

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.


 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.

 Checking for modem support lines:
