Hello, Bjorn I had modified and had tested the source code modem in kernel 2.6.25.8 with ALSA 1.0.17 and the modem works OK. I attach the tar ball. Two things... in kernel 2.6.25 and newer, the USB is GPL-symbol dependence, and this module is propietary, so i modified the MODULE_LICENSE(GPL), for not to have to recompile the kernel. Too is necessary to patch the ALSA with export symbols snd_hda_codec_read and snd_hda_codec_write http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/hda_symbols.patch and the modem works OK. Also tested the original one_a1xx source code and work OK in kernel 2.6.26 from kernel.org (that to have ALSA 1.0.16) Regards. ---------------------------- Mensaje original ---------------------------- Asunto: Re: Agere 11c11040 module building success - 2.6.25.5 De: "Mr.Bor de Tor" <uniacke1@xxxxxxxx> Fecha: Lun, 7 de Julio de 2008, 11:45 am Para: "José Luis Díez Ruiz" <joseluis.diez@xxxxxx> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jose, The issue is that newer versions of ALSA handle the modem PCM streams differently, and as such, the agrsm driver requires a version of the snd-hda-intel module that is v. 1.0.15 or older. Using that info, I managed to get it working. (note that anything before 1.0.17 won't compile easily on my machine) I'm currently in contact with Marv regarding my success with the modem working on 2.6.25, and once we've gotten the files and "paperwork" together, we'll make an official announcement to the list :) Thanks for all your help!
