Im running Mandriva 2007.1 Spring editon. Any
suggestions as to the proper driver and setup for the
Agere systems DSP chipset that scanModem found? I've
looked at the martain package list and im quite
unshure as to wich on the list that i need to obtain
inorder to make my modem functional. Ty for helping.

Class 0780: 11c1:0442 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0442
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

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

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

The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.17-13mdv resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv
If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were:
