Olá Pessoal!!

Bom aqui estou eu novamente com problemas de hardware rsrss... principalmente softmodems...

O desafio da vez é um modem que é produzido para Notebooks.

Na documentação no cd do fabricante do note (OBS.: drivers so para XP e Vista) há as seguintes especificaçoes:

--------
56K Fax Modem -> MDC 1.5 (AZALIA)
I/F ->  Azalia s/w modem
Controller -> Azalia Enbedded
wake on ring -> Support on S1/S2/S3 state

---------

Um amigo que trabalha na empresa fabricante / dristribuidora do note me disse que esse seria um nome GENERICO para o modem... e que o modelo seria:

MODELO: Agere Delphi AM3 D40 - 56Kbps


---------------

Pesquisando no google, me parece ser um driver da QCom Techinologies.

O mesmo nao é listado no lspci, mesmo assim segue o mesmo:

TESTES EFETUADOS:

O primeiro teste foi:

com o Gnome ppp instalado, tentar detectar o modem (via gnome-ppp)

- Resposta do gnome-ppp: "Nenhum modem foi encontrando em seu sistema".

Osegundo teste foi:

Apos pesquisar bastante (em portugues, ingles, chines e outros) fui na pagina: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ e então instalei e testei:

1º: scanModem.gz                      03-Oct-2006 12:16   64K

Resultado: o script roda, porem apos listar as informações (creio que o script dá um lspci), o mesmo não faz mais nada, porem tambem nao para sua execução. Creio que por que o modem nao é listado no lspci.

2º : baixei e instalei o Ungrab-winmodem (instalou sem problemas) e o slmodem (smartlink - generico para vários modems).

ungrab-winmodem-20080126.tar.gz                          01-Feb-2008 10:20  2.3K
slamr-2.6.27-7-generic.tar.gz                                     07-Dec-2008 12:30  1.3M (sim, este é meu kernel... rsrsrs)

Ambos instalaram sem problemas... porem o modem continua nao sendo reconhecido nem pelo Gnome-ppp nem pelo kppp. tambem nao aparece no lspci.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Galera, qualquer informação já iria me ajudar muuuuuito...

se alguem já instalou este modem, se estou seguindo algo incorretamente, se sabe qual arquivo ou referencia devo usar, agradeceria muito!!!

Desde já agradeço muiiito a colaboração de todos.

PS.: Me baseei nos passos de uma instalação de outro modem ao qual o Alarcom me ajudou com modem tambem.

Abraços a todos

Me esqueci de citar:  ;D

Em pesquisas no google nao encontrei muitas referencias uteis, e geramente eram de foruns onde o era feito reviews dos notebooks da empresa e opinioes...

O note é da marca mirax, que produz projetos / modelos da MSI. Em ambos os sites somente há drivers para XP e Vista...

Algumas referencias que achei interessante citar:

Site do fabricante:

http://www.mirax.com.br/exibeinfo.asp?mid=44

Se houverem mais informações que nao postei irei postar assim que lembrar  ;D

Primeiro você não tem um modem em específico e sim uma placa de som especial que faz o papel de modem também que é:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

São conhecidos como modems HDA e portanto se já era difícil fazer um modem normal para conexões discadas funcionar no linux, imagine um tipo deste. Só conheço o driver Conexant e o driver Smartlink que são capazes de fazer alguns destes tipos de modems (HDA) funcionar, sendo o driver conexant de mais fácil uso e o Smartlink de difícil uso.


Cola aqui o resultado do comando lspci -n também para ver a ID do modem.


O Ideal mesmo seria rodar o script scanModem para poder obter todas as informações sobre o modem para ser orientado de como proceder. Lembre-se que o script scanModem.gz ainda está compactado (extensão .gz) e para descompactá-lo basta clicar com o botão direito sobre ele e escolher a opção extrair aqui. Para executá-lo, pelo terminal, antes é necessário dar permissão de execução com o comando chmod +x scanModem* (não precisa ser como root) e depois para rodá-lo no terminal, como usuário comum, digitar:

./scanModem*

e aguardar o processo terminar. Depois disso é só entrar na pasta que estava guardado o script e no qual foi rodado que deverá ter uma pasta chamada Modem com vários arquivos de texto com informações úteis sendo a principal chamada de ModemData.txt ok.

with USB and bridge devices not displayed.

If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
sudo  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
  will be able to dial out with Root permission:
sudo wvdial

Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems

If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the VENdor and DEVice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
    ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:284b.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:284b does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:284b, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:
sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

For candidate modem in:  00:1b.0

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz from:

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

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


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: 2.6.27_7_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

Support for Conexant chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards may require
installation of additional packages, one of the alsa-driver-linuxant packages
on  http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/  At the same time download the
alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch , in case it prove to be later needed. During the
hsfmodem install, there will be a message if there is necessary installation of
alsa-driver-linuxant

The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
  sudo alsa* -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
  rpm -i hsf*.rpm

There may a message that "Dependencies" are not satisfied.  In this case the Ubuntu/Debian packages to be installed are linux-libc-dev & libc6-dev. Package
names may be different for other Linuxes. If not on your install CD, these
packages can be searched for at http://packages.ubuntu.com.  After download,
they can be coinstalled with:
sudo dpkg -i li*.deb
Again try the alsa-driver-linuxant

There may be a message that the patch must be applied.  In this case get the
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch

See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement snd-hda-intel + its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.27_7_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.

============ end Smartlink section =====================


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

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.2



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.3
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-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
