The script scanModem told me to attach this file and send it to this
listserver
for help. I'm trying to get the modem working under debian on my Thinkpad
T22
laptop.
thanks for any help,
Alex

For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:03.1
Class 0700: 11c1:045c Serial controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
Primary PCI_id 11c1:045c
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere Mars or Apollo DSP (digital
signal processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
For a temporary fix for 2.6.18 kernels see See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
DSP=1
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc.
Their Linux
code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and
its continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major
chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are
produced, and two have support under Linux:

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.18-kanotix-1
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3
may be needed to support driver compiling
