8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
There may be novel modem chipset information within the /proc/asound/
files. They have been copied and packed into a file: Modem/11c1.tgz
Please send 11c1.tgz to the scanModem maintainer: Marvin.Stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 1179:ff01
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
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: snd-hda-intel
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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,
