This is my modem info..
I tried pretty much everything but nothing makes it work. slmodem driver, install pppconfig.... It always tells me that "Modem is busy" or "No such file or directory" or "Permission denied"..


DO use the following line as the email Subject Line, to alert cogent experts:
scanModem, Ubuntu 4.10 kernel 2.6.8.1-3-386
Occassionally reponses are blocked by an Internet Providers mail filters.
So do in a day also check the Archived responses at DISCUSS@linmodems.org
Code updated on: 2005_March_20
------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Ubuntu 4.10 "Warty Warthog"
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.8.1-3-386
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 3.3.4
a gcc package must be installed to support driver compiling

Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
Kernel-header resources are not evident.
Within your Linux distributions resources, search for package names with:
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386
kernel-source-2.6.8.1-3-386
linux-2.6.8.1-3-386
One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to match kernel 2.6.8.1-3-386 proves necessary.
This is necessary for most modem drivers, through some Linux distributions provide some compiled drivers.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.


A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.
Checking for USB modems
None found

Modem candidates are at PCI_buses: 0000:00:1f.6

Providing detail for device at PCI_bus 0000:00:1f.6
with vendor-ID:device-ID
----:----
Class 0703: 8086:24d6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
SubSystem 104d:8128 Sony Corporation: Unknown device 8128
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 201
I/O ports at e000
I/O ports at dc00 [size=128]

-----PCI_IDs------- --CompilerVer-
Feature List: Primary Subsystem Distr KernelVer kernel default CPU
./scanModem test 8086:24d6 104d:8128 debian 2.6.8.1-3-386 3.3.4 i686


The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
8086:24d6 82801EB ICH5
capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from manufacturers:

Conexant
Intel
Smartlink
The Subsystem PCI id does not itself identify the modem Codec.
Driver snd-intel8x0m may enable codec acquisition
=== Begin mc97 codec query ===
File /proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1
--------
1-1/0: Silicon Laboratory Si3036/8 rev 7

Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1
Modem status : GPIO ADC1 DAC1 PRB(res) PRE(ADC2) PRF(DAC2) PRG(HADC) PRH(HDAC)
Line1 rate : 12000Hz
--------
104d:8128 has a SIL27 codec
=== End mc97 codec query ===

Beginning check for older ac97_codec modems.
An older ac97_modem codec was not detected.

Checking through information gathered from LinModem ARCHIVES
Modem codec information on Subsystem 104d:8128 is not in the records.
There are the following routes toward support:
Follow instructions in Modem/SoftModem.txt for identifying the modem under a Microsoft boot.
Read Modem/Slmodem.txt instruction for doing the slamr diagnostic.
Test the effectiveness of the hsfmodem package from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php.

The debian Linux includes sl-modem packages with Smartlink drivers
Install the kernel-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386.deb
If necessary, set a symbolic link needed for slmodem compiling:
# ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386 /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/build
as described in Modem/DriverCompiling.txt
Then install the two sl-modem/slmodem packages and follow their directions.
Thereafter the above slamr diagnositic can be run.


Information on several modem chipset providers is provided below,
because ambiguities remain on the correct choice of supporting software.

== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

Vendor 104d is Sony. Subsystem 104d:8129 under a 8086:2486 Intel modem controller
has a Conexant chip in a Sony Vaio grx560 laptop.
A bootup "acpi=on" was required for IRQ acquisition.

SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
The official download site is: http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40 ,
but http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ has older packages and new fixes.
For the emerging 2.6.10 kernels, use the slmodem-2.9.9b.tar.gz therefrom.
Read Slmodem.txt for details.

== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, 537 soft modem
and AC97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem Subsystems.
These subSystems often have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, rather than the chip provider.
Download available drivers through: http://developer.intel.com/design/m...ort/drivers.htm with Intel-537 types at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scr...1230&page_nbr=2
Also check at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/
for beta releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
A very detailed installation report cogent to 537 type modems is at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/arc...h/msg00541.html

======= PCI_ID checking completed ======

For information on modem port creation under the UDEV device file system see:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/arc...h/msg01178.html for Lucent/Agere DSP modems

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.

A /dev/modem symbolic link is not present

No devfsd.conf file found, indicated absense of the devfsd daemon package
