Bonjour a tous,

Je tente desesperemment d'installer un modem analogique sur une 
distribution ubunutu (Hoary) j'ai suivit les indications de ce tutoriel 
qui apparemment a l'air assez bien fait:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6361.html

Le resultat est toujours un echec, kppp ne reconnait toujours pas le modem.
J'ai utilise un script pour avoir une detection precise des modems 
disponibles (le resultat a la fin du mail).

Je ne sais pas si l'un d'entre vous a deja reussit a configurer ce type 
de modem, si ce le cas son aide serait vraiment beaucoup appreciee.


Meilleures salutations,

Jean-Jacques

------------ --------------  System information ------------------------
 Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog"
 on System with processor: i686
 currently under kernel:   2.6.10-5-686

There are emerging complications under 2.6.10 and later kernels.  
Concerning code for:
Smartlink slmodem :
   slmodem-2.9.9d.tar.gz at 
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
      has the current fixes.  Related messages are:

   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  has an 
upgrab-winmodem.tar.gz,
       providing a driver to alleviate inappropriate capture of a 
winmodem by a serial port driver.

 The kernel was assembled with compiler:  3.3.5
 with current System compiler GCC=3.3.5
    /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3

A package kernel-kbuild-2.6.3 or later version must be installed to 
support compiling

Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
The kernel-headers have base folder:
/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686
Please install the package WVDIAL for modem testing and dialout.

 A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

 The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
   10b9:5457  ALI 5457 AC-Link
 capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from 
manufacturers:

        Pctel
        Conexant
        Intel
        Smartlink
 The Subsystem PCI id does not itself identify the modem Codec.

  Driver snd-intel8x0m  may enable codec acquisition
  /proc/asound lacks an mc97 codec file.

 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:8158 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-2.6.10-5-686.deb
   If necessary, set a symbolic link needed for slmodem compiling:
     # ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.10-5-686 
/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/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-2.9.9d.tar.gz  
therefrom.
      Also DO download the ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz
 For details read Slmodem.txt,  Slmodem-ALSA.txt  and
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html

 == Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

 Vendor 10b9 is Acer Labs, producing highly integrated motherboards and 
Ali components.
 The tight integration unfortunately ofter blocks identification of the 
modem chipset.
 Desired information may be gained by using a COMM console under MS Windows,
   and using ATI commands to elicit chipset and driver information.
 10b9:5450  ALI 5450 and  10b9:5451  ALI 5451 are controllers for 
unsupported "sound  modems"


 These messages may aid setup of soft modems under 10b9:M5457 controllers:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg02518.html
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg02100.html
 The slmodem-2.9.9 support was developed for 10b9:5459,
   but there a range of reports the related 10b9:5457 modemd controllers:
     fully functional;
     functional only after a power on reboot from Microsoft windows;
     hang/crash upon initiation of modem usage.

 10b9:5457   Modem: ALi Corporation [M5457 AC-Link Modem]
 SubSystem 1179:0001   Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001
 has an AgereSoftModem chip which may be supported by the Smartlink 
slmodem-2.9.9 driver

 then the PCMCIA bridge is NOT transparent.

 If the modem is known to have a Lucent digital signal processing chipset,
 then PCMCIA.tar.gz variant assembled by Joern Wustenfeld is necessary,
 rather than the standard ltmodem-8.31a10.tar.gz at  http://ltmodem.heby.de/
