Ubuntu-modem

[lal]

Hi all,
       I am a newbie in Ubuntu.For the last many days I was trying to install a modem driver for my desktop PC.Attached with this mail is the ModemData.txt(the out put of modem locate program).I couldn't understand the text.Would you please help me by suggesting an appropriate driver installation package and also the place to look for that package(My modem belongs to smartlink2800 family and I am using Ubuntu 6.10).

Dear friends,please help me!

with thanks in advance
Murali

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

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support, 
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written during 
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

 The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.
 Finished copy to Modem/ALSAmurali.tgz

The ALSA verion is 1.0.11
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 4 : capture 1

about /proc/asound/cards:

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

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-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 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 package
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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