 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 
 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
                

Attached USB devices are:

For candidate card in slot 00:0a.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

 The PCI slot 00:0a.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in 
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@linmodems.org
 if help is needed.

 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 The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through: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 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

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

 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. 

 
 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

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
