Hello!
I'm quite new to linux and I'm trying to install a Lucent Tech modem in a
Debian 3.1 kernel 2.4.27-2-386. I think that kernel headers were installed
ok (I simply did an apt-get install from my distro cd sets).
But I'm getting an error that I wasn't able to solve (I attached the
BLDrecord.txt to this message).
For the results ./build_module I wonder if I need a previous version of
gcc. My Debian has gcc 3.3.5... Or it might be another cause for this
problem.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate very much. Because I didn't find
any other way to get that modem working with my Debian box.
Thanks in advance,
Matías

The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere DSP (digital signal processing) chipset
with primary PCI_ID: 11c1:0441
DSP=1
Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc.
Information is at: http://www.agere.com/client/modem_dsp.html. Produced are both:
1) modems identifiable from their primary PCI IDs and
2) soft modem Subystem chips requiring identification through codec readouts.
Call waiting specified by, +pcw=1, is not implmented in the ltmodem drivers.

Add either of the following lines to the Debian /etc/apt/sources.list
to enable automatic updates on installer availability:

The desired installer name is like:
========================================

----------------------------------------
ltmodem-kv-Kernel_FL-LTver--.CPU.rpm explains the versioning.
For your System
Kernel_FL is 2.4.27-2-386 , the full kernel version displayed by: uname -r
LTver is 8.31a9, the release of the compiler kit
8.nn is the Agere core code designation.
The proccesor type or CPU is: i586 dispayed by: uname -m
used in compiling and assembling driver packages.
A suitable installer is not available as of this 2004_Nov_26 update.
Check in the section debian at http://ltmodem.heby.de/
for a subsequent Installer submission.
Older releases have been archived at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/archive/
Also there is a RPM search engine at: http://rpm.pbone.net
The closest match to your i586=CPU is recommended.
The closest match to your i586=CPU is recommended.
For example replacements in order of preference for an
i686 would be i586, i486 and i386
If not present use the ltmodem-8.31a9.tar.gz compiler kit.
