Here is an updated ModemData.txt, Jacques Goldberg. Let me know if its possible to make this modem work. Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server. Do use the following as the email Subject Line: SomeName, YourCountry pclinuxos Linux release 2006 (Texstar) for i586 Kernel 2.6.16.27.tex1.lve on an i686 / kernel 2.6.16.27.tex1.lve This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives. YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance. Occassionally responses are blocked by an Internet Provider mail filters. So in a day, also check the Archived responses at http://www.linmodems.org .

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 115d is XIRCOM, which was purchased by Intel The following devices have Lucent/AgereSystems DSP chipsets supported by the Martian variant of the AgereSystems ltmodem software. XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0000-0x000F XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0440-0x045c XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0010-0x03ff Completed candidate modem analyses.
