The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
1039:7013 SiS 630
capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from
manufacturers:
Pctel
AgereSystems
Intel
Smartlink
Checking Subsystem against prior reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From prior reports, the codec of the Subsystem is:
The Codec is not recognized.
Information on several modem chipset providers is provided below,
because ambiguities remain on the correct choice of supporting software.
=== Checking PCI IDs through chipset providers and modem assemblers ===
Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems,
Inc.
Information is at: http://www.agere.com/client/modem_dsp.html. Produced are
both:
1) modems identifiable from their primary PCI IDs and
2) soft modem Subsystem chips requiring identification through codec
readouts.
AgereSoftModem drivers only support AC97 or MC97 modem controllers with
codecs characterized by one of:
SIL_id = 39
mc97 codec is SIL27
0x27 , as output by modem diagnostics under Microsoft Windows (Note:
this is there in the WinXP diagnostics results above:)
If uncertain, identify the softmodem codec through tests described in
Modem/SoftModem.txt
Support is currently ONLY for 2.4.n kernels (Note: looks like the kernel
will need to be recompiled... as Nick concluded correctly) and the following
modem controllers:
8086: (2416 2426 2446 7196 2486 24C6), with 8086 == Intel
1039:7013 SiS :)
1106:3068 VIA
Access the soft modem software through code sponsor IBM at:
http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52698
The SmartLink slmodem-2.9.9 may serve for modems not served by this
AgereSystems software.
The ltmodem drivers do NOT support this modem: 1039:7013 :(
SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c 2000 2003 2004
Products include the:
163c:5459 SmartPC1561 modem and chipsets for other Brandname PCI modems;
a chipset for USB modems, the SmartUSB56 (ST7554) based modems
with vendor/product usb ids: 0483:7554 supported.
Fax support is provided, though the AT&F command is not supported by the
drivers.
Multiple modems on the same PC are supported.
There is a success report for 64 bit AMD x86_64 processor mother boards:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg02594.html
Download software through:
http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
with backups at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html
There are two support options:
1) The slmodem-2.9.n series provides after compiling:
slamr - the low level driver
slusb - the low level driver for USB modems
slmodemd - a daemon creating modem ports and providing higher level
functions.
Loading of slamr with:
# modprobe slamr
will generate a warning, for soft modems with non-SmartLink chips.
So long as the driver loads, just ignore it. Read related kernel messages
with:
# dmesg | grep slamr
which may give a report including: "slamr: mc97 codec is SILnm" , with n,m
numbers
a) For such responses, there are good prospects for the modem being
supported.
b) For a response like: slamr: mc97 codec is BCM64
the soft modem has a Broadcom codec and the 2nd alternative must be
tested.
2) In recent 2.6.n kernel releases there is a driver snd-intel8x0m.ko ,
for which the slmodem-2.9.9-alsa slmodemd provides port creation and high
level services.
Even if 1) serves well, it is worth testing 2) because:
a) The driver snd-intel8x0m.ko will come with future kernel releases,
while YOU would have to compile slamr with every kernel upgrade.
b) The slmodemd remains functional with minor 2.6.n upgrades, and thus
does NOT have to be
compiled again.
c) there will not be a warning about "Tainted kernel" upon driver
insertion.
For further implementation tails on 1) and 2), read Modem/Slmodem.txt
=== Checking PCI IDs through chipset providers and modem assemblers ===
Vendor 1039 is SiS, Silicon Integrated System.

Analyzing information for PCMCIA device at PCI Bus 00:0a.0
GREPping for an inserted PCMCIA modem with filter: (?)ommunication
If a PCMCIA modem is currently inserted and the sockets activated by
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
then the PCMCIA bridge is NOT transparent. (Note: no PCMCIA modem
installed)
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 then the standard ltmodem-8.26a9.tar.gz at http://ltmodem.heby.de/

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.
======================================
grep ppp /etc/modprobe.conf
---------------------------------------------
Be sure to read the section about ppp related modules and aliases in
Modem/General.txt
A port needed for the PPP protocol is absent!!! (Note: Uh oh... modem
"PPP" works okay under WinXP)
echo " crw------- 1 root root 108, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/ppp"
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not present
No devfsd.conf file found, indicated absense of the devfsd daemon
package

Enabling disabled K7/SSE Support.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKG] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10) *0, disabled.
There are Debian packages with modem drivers from Smartlink:
sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon
sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building
source
Many modem subSystems serving under AC97/MC97 Controllers are also
supported.
The Modem/DriverCompiling.txt is a MUST READ,
if you are experienced in configuring kernel-source/ (Note: newbie here...)
or get "unresolved symbols" upon driver insertion.

End of results in Linux "ubuntu" for NEC Versa C160.

Seems from these results the modem should be go under Linux... (all going
well, say a prayer...). Thanks for all the help. Next step is obviously the
compiling etc., to get the thing going... :$ Hmm... Help!
