Alexei Chentsov has spotted a code release from AgereSystems hopefully
extending soft modem support. The package is agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2
which can be downloaded from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/sv92/
Alexei suggests that the more expert pool skills and make the code
really useful.
While he has two cogent modems, he lacks time to do all the needed
fixes himself.
The code supports three softmodems previously not supported under Linux.
{ 0x11C1, 0x048C, 0x0000, 0x0000 }, are PCI card softmodems
{ 0x11C1, 0x048F, 0x0000, 0x0000 }, " "
which has fairly broad spread usage in Latin Americaa
{ 0x11C1, 0x0620, 0x0000, 0x0000 }, is an SV2PP type
which we have encountered a few times on this List.
The remainder are softmodems with AC'97/MC97 controllers, which
already have alternate support through the ALSA snd-intel8x0m driver
plus the slmodemd maintained by Sasha Khapyorsky.
{ 0x8086, 0x2416, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x2426, 0x0000, 0x0000 }, "
{ 0x8086, 0x2446, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x7196, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x2486, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x24C6, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x24D6, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
{ 0x8086, 0x266D, 0x0000, 0x0000 },
Alexei did compiles under some Fedora kernel (i presume) and my
compile below is under a lean 2.6.17.14-marv3 kernel derived from
Ubuntu 2.6.17-10-generic sources. Sadly, the compile failed for the
stock 2.6.17-10-generic resources for reasons to be clarified.
$ make clean
is broken, so the package should only be used once. Just unpack the
tarball for a clean copu until "make clean" is fixed. The alpha
development at AgereSystems was last with kernel 2.6.14 sources. It
would be nice to clean out all those "deprecated" warnings below
through appropriate update
See Alexei's comments below.
