I am new to linux and the instructions in DriverCompiling are beyond me.
I have run scanModem and read all the files in Modem. I then installed the
package lib6-dev and its dependencies, following instructions in AgereDSP. I
downloaded martian-full-20060727.tar.gz, per instructions in ModemData and
AgereDSP. I unzipped this to produce a folder called 164x. I changed
directories to the 164x folder, ran make clean, which seemed to work, then
make, which did not seem to work and produced multiple warnings.
I have read DriverCompiling repeatedly, but my limited understanding of the
linux system is not enough to allow me to progress further.
That brings me back to using a WinXP machine to send this email and ask for
help for a raw novice!
Thank you, Brian

Class 0780: 11c1:0441 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0441
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.
DSP=1
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:
Device ID Support Name Comment
