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-alpha.tar.bz2 potentially provides support for PCI_id chipsets

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.

Get the pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-7.tar.gz
Unpack under Linux with:
tar zxf pctel*.tar.gz
and read instuctions therein.
Read Pctel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Writing Pctel.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.0
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.0
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.0
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in
/usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6
are commonly installed by default.
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 Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.

Dear all,
I'm new to linux modem installations. I have already compiled 2 modem =

Thanks for your help.
