John, Download the agrsm-20080203.tar.gz file that scanModem recommends: >From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ download agrsm-20080203.tar.gz The suse-10-2a.tar.gz thereat has newer Agere/LSI code, but there are compiling problems with newer kernels Read DOCs/Agrsm.txt 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. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. There is a modem interrupt problem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: =================================== The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . 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. ===================================== Regards, Antonio --- On Sun, 7/6/08, John Fitzhugh <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: John Fitzhugh <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: New Linux User - Need Help with Internal Modem > To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Sunday, July 6, 2008, 6:12 PM > I just installed Linux because I got incredibly sick of > Windows and > Microsoft, and now I can't get my modem to respond.
