=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 01:07.0
Class 0780: 11c1:0458 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0458
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.

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:
