I am trying to get working the internal modem of my armada Compaq E500
computer. Usually I don't need id since at home I have an ethernet
connection to the web, but when away from home I will need it. My
computer runs under Debian Gnu Linux with a new kernel I built from
sources obtained at kernel.org. When trying to build the driver, using
ltmodem-8.31a10.tar.gz obtained from Heby's site. the buid fails, and
I do not understand why (my knowledge of programming is very limited).
Thanks in advance if someone can help!

The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere DSP (digital signal processing)
chipset
with primary PCI_ID: 11c1:0445
DSP=1
Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere
Systems, Inc.
Information is at: http://www.agere.com/client/modem_dsp.html.
Produced are both:
1) modems identifiable from their primary PCI IDs and
2) soft modem Subystem chips requiring identification through codec
readouts.
Call waiting specified by, +pcw=1, is not implmented in the ltmodem
drivers.

Support has been extended to 2.6.n kernels by Rajesh K. Balan and
Aleksey Kondratenko <alk@xxxxxx>, with official support from
AgereSystems later following.
Functionalirt requires serial_core support, either as a module or
integral to the kernel.
The resources are http://ltmodem.heby.de are more automated and can
utilize kernel-headers.
The ltmodem-2.6-alk-6.tar.bz2 is a leaner package and can be
downloaded from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/
with low bandwidth alternate:
http://alk.at.tut.by/ltmodem-2.6-alk-6.tar.bz2
A full kernel-source configuration is required, or the
kernel-headers as provided with fedora 2.
Add either of the following lines to the Debian /etc/apt/sources.list
to enable automatic updates on installer availability:
deb http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/dists/debian/ ./
deb http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/dists/debian/ ./
The desired installer name is like:
========================================
ltmodem-2.6.22.1-armada_8.nn_i386.deb
----------------------------------------
ltmodem-kv-Kernel_FL-LTver--.CPU.rpm explains the versioning.
For your System
Kernel_FL is 2.6.22.1-armada , the full kernel version
displayed by: uname -r
LTver is 8.31a9, the release of the compiler kit
8.nn is the Agere core code designation.
The proccesor type or CPU is: i686 dispayed by: uname -m
used in compiling and assembling driver packages.
A suitable installer is not available as of this 2004_Nov_26 update.
Check in the section debian at http://ltmodem.heby.de/
for a subsequent Installer submission.
Older releases have been archived at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/archive/
Also there is a RPM search engine at: http://rpm.pbone.net
The closest match to your i686=CPU is recommended.
The closest match to your i686=CPU is recommended.
For example replacements in order of preference for an
i686 would be i586, i486 and i386
If not present use the ltmodem-8.31a9.tar.gz compiler kit.

If a PCMCIA modem is currently inserted and the sockets activated by
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
then the PCMCIA bridge is NOT transparent.
If the modem is known to have a Lucent digital signal processing chipset,
then PCMCIA.tar.gz variant assembled by Joern Wustenfeld is necessary,
rather than the standard ltmodem-8.31a9.tar.gz at
