Ken USA, Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) - Kernel kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default

Hi. My SUSE 10.1 doesn't see my XP's Winmodem. It's a Lucent Agere as the ModemData.txt file shows. How does one fix this?

Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) - Kernel 
Linux version 2.6.16.13-4-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)) #1 Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006

USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 01:0b.0	11c1:044c	11c1:044c	Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
  9:          1   IO-APIC-level  acpi

 --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 01:0b.0 ----

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  01:0b.0
   Class 0780: 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
      Primary PCI_id  11c1:044c
 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/

 See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
  DSP=1

 Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI 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: 
 with varying support under Linux.

AGRSM - At http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/ 
agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2 potentially provides support for PCI_id chipsets
   11c1:048c,  11c1:048f and 11c1:0620
in addition to prior support of Subsystems under Intel 8086:???? below
11C1:048C
11C1:048F
11C1:0620
8086:(2416 2426 7196 2486 24C6 24CD6 266D) are soft modem controllers, better
   supported through ALSA modem drivers and the Smartlink slmodemd helper.
   
There has only been one reported success for 11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620. See:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00849.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00970.html
Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these modems working.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.0 and a compiler is not installed

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	gcc-4.1  kernel-source-2.6.16.13-4-default


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 291796 2006-04-22 22:38 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
