===== 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 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573055

The softmodem chip 0x10573055 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary. Instructions for Upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at:

Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd

Download from Index of /packages/smartlink
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number

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

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3

linux-headers-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
make kernel-source-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae


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

How to get this working ?

plzz help...waiting for some ideas

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573055

This output suggests that the smartlink-softmodem package may be ok. Install via yast software manager, and it should take care of any dependent packages for you.

[tanmaya]

its already installed. so now how to configure and use ?

[deano_ferrari]

Fist you need to configure with YaST > Network Deivces > Modem. The easiest way to control the modem interface is via KInternet. Install this package if you don't already have it.

[tanmaya]

/etc/init.d/slmodemd start
Starting SmartLink Modem driver: startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/slmodemd: 255

what's the meaning of this ?
