Class 0780: 11c1:0449 Communication controller: Agere Systems
WinModem 56k
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0449
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/martia
n/
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-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:

Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these
modems working.
