modem driver for Agere softmodem 0x11c11040

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Celso,

The easily solvable problem is that the  2.6.17-10-generic
snd-hda-intel.ko driver does not have
Vendor Id: 0x11c11040
representing the Agere softmodem chip in its code..

A second problem is the  0x11c11040  itself.
We currently have 4 cases, none of which are working under Linux.

For testing once you have installed the replacement snd-hda-intel +
its supporting drivers, the general procedure is:
 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
        $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
        sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,N
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
        /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
We have to determine the N for your System.

Please do:
$ cp -a /proc/asound celso
$ tar cfz celso.tgz  celso/
and send me  and Lajos the celso.tgz , from which I can likely specify the N

 Compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build
GOOD!  multiple compiling trials may be necessary.
Detailed instructions on compiling will follow.

"Kiss Lajos" <mngc@xxxxx> is also working on this problem.

Hi,

I need a help to find a driver for  an Agere Systems HDA modem
installed to a laptop.
My linux system is Kubuntu with kernel 2.6.17-10-generic.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me.
Best regards,

 This is a NEW softmodem case!  Please send the output ModemData.txt
 to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance is not needed.
 It will enrich the Archive and help others!
 -------------------------------------------
 Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
 intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
 with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
 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 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
        $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
        sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
        /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
