IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!! The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!! Possible corrections are: 1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other Operating System type. Instructions for accessing BIOS are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within: Additional Resourcces. 2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line. Here is an example paragraph from /boot/grub/menu.lst : title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686 root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686 savedefault 2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq". 3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed. 4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped. 5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment. ===================================== --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:01.0 ---- === Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. === Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 02:01.0: Modem chipset detected on CLASS="Class 0780: 11c1:048c" NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem " SUBSYS=11c1:044c PCIDEV=11c1:048c IRQ=255 IDENT=Agere.SV2P For candidate modem in: 02:01.0 Class 0780: 11c1:048c Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem Primary device ID: 11c1:048c Support type needed or chipset: Agere.SV2P ----------------end Softmodem section -------------- Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.2 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24.5/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. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed package For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking pppd properties: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 366440 Jun 29 2006 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 crtscts lock modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts should trouble shooting be necessary. ========================================================== Checking for modem support lines: -------------------------------------- /device/modem symbolic link: slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0: Within /etc/udev/ files: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="mwave", NAME="modems/mwave", GROUP="uucp" Within /etc/modprobe.conf files: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:# ALSA modules to support sound modems.

INSTALLING THE AGERE SOFT MODEM DRIVER VERSION 2.1.40.3.Mandrake from the sandard driver package ( zip / tar.gz archieve) Step 1 Uninstall any older version of the Agere soft modem driver by running "make uninstall" from the directory containing the previously installed Agere softmodem driver. Step 2 To install the Agere soft modem driver in LINUX, extract the driver package (unzip /tar -xzvf) in a directory under Linux and run "make module" and then "make install" from the command prompt. This will install both the Agere soft modem controller driver agrmodem.ko and the Modem serial interface driver agrserial.ko. To install the modem driver you must be logged in as root. Step 3 To use Agere soft modem using KPPP choose "/dev/modem" as the modem device. To use the Agere soft modem, you can configure "minicom" for the modem device. Enter "minicom -s" at the command prompt. Choose "Serial Port Setup" For "Serial Device" choose "/dev/modem" Save settings as default (dfl) and start using the modem with minicom. UNINSTALLING THE MODEM DRIVER Following are the steps to follow to uninstall the Agere soft modem driver for Linux. Step 1 To uninstall the Agere soft modem driver in LINUX, you can run "make uninstall" from the command prompt.
