The dkms driver upgrade utilities are installed,


Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,     
<-------- ? this is a 64 bit system, but not linmodem
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems.  Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html 
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem 
controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd 
helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed 
to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 
competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 
systems.

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files

 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
       snd_hda_intel

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.6.3

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
