CPU=i686,  
Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007
 scanModem update of:  2007_August_28


 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 
USB modem not detected by lsusb


Several modems are supported by drivers with ALSA, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture software.
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAtaha.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and diagnostics:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 02:00.0	14f1:1056	14f1:1056	Communication controller: Conexant HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp Modem 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:00.0 ----

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  02:00.0
   Class 0780: 14f1:1056 Communication controller: Conexant HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp Modem
      Primary PCI_id  14f1:1056
 Support type needed or chipset:	hcflinmodem
 


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 Conexant.txt

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 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/2.6.20-15-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 files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example. 
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com

For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
 libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
