Artu,
Class 0780: 11c1:0620 Communication controller: Agere Systems
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0620
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.SV2P
-------------------
is in principle supportable, through success is variable.
Your initial problem however is:
The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!!
---------------
Is your System a laptop or desktop, in which you could move the modem
to another PCI slot
Did the PC come with this modem, or did you add it in??
Compiling drivers will be necessary.
>From http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/sv92/
down load both the suse-10-2a.tar.gz and the agrsm-20070804.tar.gz
But do not try to use them before you respond.
Hugo,
The suse-10-2a.tar.gz was recently provided by LSI (formerly
Agere) through Alan. Its pre-compiled agrmodemlib.o component is more
recent than that in to agrsm packages:
# ls -l agrmodemlib.o agrmodemlib.o.2005-11-16
-r--r--r-- 1 marv marv 1629377 2007-12-01 15:11 agrmodemlib.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 marv marv 1419089 2005-11-16 16:43 agrmodemlib.o.2005-11-16
It provides for support on more platforms. However suse-10-2a
resource is yet to be updated for kernel support beyond 2.6.18. It
would be interesting to know where the newer agrmodemlib.o does
provide support, when swaped into the agrsm package, functional under
2.6.22 kernels on your System. Could you please check into this
situation and report back?
Also please track developments in Artu's case.
