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. -------------- marvS On 9/30/07, Rob Glazebrook <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List > Server. > Do use the following as the email Subject Line: > SomeName, YourCountry PCLinuxOS release 2007 (PCLinuxOS) for i586 > Kernel 2.6.18.8.tex5 on an i686 / kernel 2.6.18.8.tex5 > This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives. > YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance. > Occassionally responses are blocked by an Internet Provider mail filters. > So in a day, also check the Archived responses at > http://www.linmodems.org . > Local Linux experts can be found through: > http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html > -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- > CPU=i686, PCLinuxOS release 2007 (PCLinuxOS) for i586 > Kernel 2.6.18.8.tex5 on an i686 / > Linux version 2.6.18.8.tex5 (vaughan@localhost) (gcc version 4.1.1 > 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-4pclos2007)) #1 SMP Thu May 10 11:36:58 WST > 2007 > scanModem update of: 2007_Sept_07 > > > There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files > USB modem not detected by lsusb > > Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and > diagnostics: > > PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name > ---------- --------- --------- -------------- > 01:08.0 11c1:044c 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere > Systems LT WinModem > > Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: > 10: 12268 XT-PIC 164x, Intel ICH2 > --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 01:08.0 ---- > ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:08.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 10 (level, > low) -> IRQ 10 > > === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. === > === Next deducing cogent software === > > For candidate modem in PCI bus: 01:08.0 > Class 0780: 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem > Primary PCI_id 11c1:044c > Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP > > > > The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal > processing) chipset.
