===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.17
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: STAC92xx Digital : STAC92xx Digital : playback 1
00-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 2

HDA Intel at 0xf6afc000 irq 21
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

Primary device ID: 047e:2892
Support type needed or chipset: agrsm
Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair.
One resource site is
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/Thereat get the agrsm_howto.txt and one of the agrsm-tools packages.
The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs:
11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips.
They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package.
The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity
For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support
through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage
of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent.
Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem
specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades.
Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.26.28 and later kernels.
A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier kernels.
For detailed instructions for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, see
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.htmlThe primary dkms-agrsm resource site is
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type installers (supporting Ubuntu too)
are copied to
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ . Thereat the current package
is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted on High Definition Audio cards.
Read the Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details.

SUBSYS=1028:02aa
IRQ=21
HDA=8086:293e
SOFT=8086:293e.HDA
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 8086:293e.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:293e does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:293e, 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:

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:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt

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/2.6.27-10-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 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.comOnce downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
