Does it actually work? I have a 11c11040 and no idea how to get it to
work. The directions here are a bit complicated.
I have ALSA x.16 I think. Will these new two files work with it? Or do
they need x.15?
Can you post complete directions for a newbie? I can't get the patch to
work, does this supercede the patch? I did get ALSA x.16 (I think) to
compile and install without patches.

Hi all,
As promised, here's the update and the logs.
This is a 32 bit system, kernel 2.6.25.5-pae (openSuSE 11 default)
modem.log details the kernel OOPS I get caused by
modem-update-hda-structs.patch.
modem1.log details two attempts. The first with all patches EXCEPT
modem-update-hda-structs.patch and agrsm-hda_codec.patch.
This is the build that gives 'no stream' errors. (see log)
The second half of the log (below the ------------------------------
line)
details the attempt WITH the agrsm_hda_codec.patch but without the
update-hda-structs patch.
This builds and loads fine (no complaints of missing symbols either,
unlike the other two builds) but does a hard lockup on trying to
access the modem device. (this happens even if I boot SuSE in
'failsafe' mode.)
The other two files, hda_codec.c and hda_codec2.c are the two ALSA
codec files that have been modified to export the read/write symbols
for agrsm.
the former is from alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_codec.c and the latter is
pci/hda/hda_codec.c
So close... but yet so far. Hope we can figure this out- I would hate
to have to go back to an earlier kernel version on my laptop, since
the wireless is now finally working properly.

Bjorn,
It would be worth retesting the Agere Driver pair with potential
resource conflicts minimized.
In /etc/discover.conf comment out anything you don't need.
Also blacklist or unload any non-essential modules.
Then reboot and retest.
modprobe agrmodem
may be harmless, as the IRQ is taken only upon
modprobe agrserial
Please report also to the List if successful.

Hi all,
I have succeeded in building the 2.1.80
agrmodem/agrserial pair (with
HDA support) on my computer, and the modules loaded
successfully!
(However, running 'AgrMdmDaemon' hangs the system.)'
No unresolved
hda_codec_read/write symbol issues.
Here's what I did:
1. get the file
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-2.1.80-2mdv2009.0.src.rpm
from the 11c11040 pit of the linmodems site.
Make sure it's the .src.rpm file.
convert to cpio with 'rpm2cpio
agrsm-2.1.80-2mdv2009.0.src.rpm >
agrsm-2.1.80-2mdv2009.0.cpio
extract: cpio -i < agrsm-2.1.80-2mdv2009.0.cpio
There are a multitude of patch files included in the
src. RPM. apply
ALL of them. This fixes the IRQ flags, among other
things.
If you run make at this stage, then it will fail
because the module
uses a GPL-only function call - usb_put_dev. There
are various ways to
bypass this, either by commenting out the line in
question, or my
unorthodox (and lazy) method of editing the
MODULE_LICENSE line in
agrsoftmodem.c.
run make module.
The modules built for me on 2.6.25.5 and they load
fine. Dmesg shows
that the modem is detected. /dev/ttyAGS3 appears.
However, if I try to run the modem daemon
./AgrMdmDaemon, it locks the
entire system and requires a hard reset.
Hope this helps someone to get it going!
Bjorn.
