No BIOS options for assigning IRQ's, not even to onboard devices like
sound and video. Switching pci slots worked.

This results in unresolved symbols, as I've explained further in a
different thread. A sample error log attached.

So it turns out I'm not working this weekend after all, and I've been
trying out different kernels. It works on 2.6.19, 2.6.20 as well as
the 2.6.18 I already reported. Here's where it gets weird though - it
also works on 2.6.21.5, which I compiled from the sources and config
file which came from Slackware 12.0. I repeat - because it sounds
unbelievable - agrsm-20070804 didn't work on the kernel shipped with
Slack 12.0, but does on a kernel compiled from the same source and
config.

I stopped testing at that point. Frankly, kernel compiles are too time
consuming and rebooting this often is sending my phone bill through
the roof.

Something I noticed during testing, is that if I remove the modules
(rmmod), then later reload them (modprobe), the modem isn't detected.
When the driver is unloaded the modem makes the click sound like it's
being reset.

I couldn't get the suse-10-2a driver to work on any of the kernels I
compiled. 2.6.18 had a different error to the later versions. I've
attached some error logs in case Hugo, Alan, or anyone else wants them
for their own info. All attachments were created by "make module 2>
errors.txt"
