Giancarlo CPU=i686, Mandriva Linux release 2007.1 (Official) for i586 Kernel 2.6.17-13mdv on an i686 / modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttyS0 -------- is a bad guess made during the installation. Your modems are: 11c1:0440 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem which is supported by the martian driver code 1106:3068 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem can likely also be supported, but the diagnostic was not complete enough for me to assess the best support type. Please do: $ su - root # cp -a /proc/asound GC # tar cfz GC.tgz GC/ and send me the output GC.tgz For the 11c1:0440 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem follow the directions in the attached AgereDSP.txt Your System will have to be setup for compiling.

Modems with Lucent/Agere DSP chipsets -------------------------------------- For Lucent/Agere/Xircom modems with DSP (digital signal processing) chipsets http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ has the support packages and information for 2.6. kernels. Support packages for 2.6.13 kernels are at: http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ For 2.6.12 and earlier kernels use a package in the foler but http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/ In Alexei Chentsov's new martian approach, the overall support is two component: 1) The driver loaded onto the running kernel, martian_dev, is Open Source; 2) The proprietary and closed source component from Agere Systems, ltmdobj.o of Agere version 8.30, is compiled into a martian_modem helper application. AMD x86x-64 processors are supported, though only in 32 bit mode. In addition to general compiling support, assembly of the martian_modem tool requires additional kernel_header files in /usr/include/ folders. For Debian and Ubuntu related Distros these are provided by the package libc6-dev. For Ubuntu, search for it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and install after download with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb For Fedora, the comparable packages (one to all of) have names like: glibc-headers-2.3.5-10.i386.rpm glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.94.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.5-10.i386.rpm which after download can be installed with: # rpm -i glibc*.rpm Beware that the martian_dev mostly provides low level contact with the hardware. Do read the accompanying documentation carefully!! The martian_modem provides higher level COMM functions and MUST be running throughout a dialout session. The modem port is in the dynamically created /dev/pts/N family, with symbolic link creatd by the martian_modem /dev/ttySM0 -->/dev/pts/N Usage of these ports requires that a line: Carrier Check = no be added to the configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf See the file wvdial.txt for details on this usage. For martian concept details see: http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org To automate martian_modem action upon martian_dev loading, the following SINGLE line can be added to one of the files /etc/modprobe* or to a new file /etc/modprobe.d/martian install martian_dev modprobe --ignore-install martian_dev ; /usr/sbin/martian_modem However, there is a report that (at least in some Systems), boot up processes are slowed. This is associated with bootup testing of potentially needed modules. Thus you may choose not to use this automation. Support for the former driver pair, ltmodem + ltserial terminates with 2.6.15 kernels. Lucent/Agere Mars/WinModem drivers from version 8.30 onwards have the necessary fix for SMP machines which includes machines with hyperthreading turned on (virtually acting as two CPUs). Call waiting normally specified by, +pcw=1, is not implmented in the Linux drivers. For older ISA card modems, specification of resources through forcing is sometimes necessary: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg00055.html The remainder of this section is historical info, awaiting a final edit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at: http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/ with folders for debian/ containing some installers ubuntu/ containing some installers The ltmodem-8.26b1.tar.gz and ltmodem-8.31b1.tar.gz are driver compiling resources, with the 8.31 having support for SMP (symmetric multi processor) motherboards. These packages are more automated versions of the ltmodem-2.6-alk* packages The ltmodem-2.6-Nalk.src.rpm packages can be used with rpm using Distros. # rpmbuild --rebuild ltmodem-2.6-Nalk.src.rpm will deposit an installer at: /usr/src/rpm/RPMS//ltmodem-kv_2.6.17.14-marv3.rpm Check with # ls -l /usr/src/rpm/RPMS//ltmodem* Then install with: # rpm -i /usr/src/rpm/RPMS//ltmodem-kv_2.6.17.14-marv3.rpm or similar. The martian.tar.gz represents a new developmental track, meeting emerging kernel requirements. See for details: http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/ http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-sixth/msg00142.html AMD x86_64 competency is provided only bt the martian. For 2.4.n kernels packages are at http://ltmodem.heby.de/ or http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/ There are some installer packages and also resources for compiling drivers. ---------------------- SuSE/Novell Linux and some other Distros provide compiled drivers +installers. Search package lists for ltmodem For other Distros and 2.6.n kernels, see: Packages for compiling drivers are: ResourceName Use for kernel ranges -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ltmodem-8.26a.tar.gz 2.4.21 and earlier ltmodem-8.30a3.tar.gz 2.4.21 and subsequent 2.4.2n kernels which were assembled with a gcc-2.9 comiler ltmodem-8.31a10.tar.gz beginning with 2.4.21 and upto about 2.6.8 kernels martian.tar.gz 2.6.n SMP (symmetic multiprocessor) support not verified. ltmodem-8.31b1.tar.gz 2.6.n with SMP support, for some* Systems ltmodem-8.26b1tar.gz 2.6.n without SMP support * While SMP capacity should in principle be without ill effect on single processor systems, the are some cases of ill effects on single processor systems. Some additional 2.4.n installers are available from: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/kernel-module-ltmodem/ for some other 2.4.n installers.
