Thanks for the kind words.
Regarding faxes, that would depend on whether the agrsm driver contains
support for the fax protocol.
Marv or anyone, can you shed some light on this?

I'd like to clarify that YOU were able to get it working.
I have last question (I think): I tried to send faxes without success, is fax
working?

Hi Max!
Congrats! It's great news to hear you were able to get it working!
With regards to the mixer channels in ALSA, those are provided by the
snd-hda-intel module( so changing mixer version likely won't help).
Since we've gone back to an older version than you had before, we have
'undone' some of the fixes.
If you want to use a newer version of the ALSA module, you'd need to
upgrade your kernel to one that ships with ALSA 1.0.16 or 1.0.17.
Happy modeming,
Bjorn.

I couldn't believe it! It works great! Tested only 2 minutes connection
but it worked like a charm. You are great. Don't have words to thank you.
Now I have a last problem, audio system seem to be ok, but mixer have
lost master slider and substituted with headphone volume, alsa ncurses
mixer shows it as well, could be adviceable and useful to install 1.0.15
mixer?

PS My ASUS Notebook thanks you, he only has Memory Stick reader left to
get to work but it seems to be not supported by now.

Glad to hear it Max!
Try doing 'sudo modprobe agrmodem --force-modversion' followed by 'sudo
modprobe agrserial'.
That will tell it to ignore the version issue, and should get the
modules loaded.
Good luck!

Hi Bjorn,
here are the news:
on boot i get this message from dmesg:
ALSA

pc i/hda/patch_si3054.c:238: si3054: cannot initialize. EXT MID = 0000
on modprobe I get those:
agrmodem: disagrees about version of symbol snd_cards
agrmodem: Unknown symbol snd_cards
agrmodem: no version for "snd_hda_codec_read" found: kernel tainted.

Hi Max,
ALSA-Lib shouldn't be a problem, since the symbols are
provided by the ALSA modules.
The unknown symbols are probably because only the
newer snd-hda-intel module is loaded, and not all of
the other newer ones.
The newly made modules should all be copied to
/lib/modules/(kernel version)/sound directory, if I'm
not mistaken.
You can try copying the contents of that dir to a safe
place (e.g. your home directory) and then deleting it.
Then, fill it with the modules (.ko files ) in (alsa
source dir)/modules and run 'depmod -ae' to update
dependencies.
After this it should only load the new modules.

I only installed alsa-driver, but system still loads

I forced snd _hda_intel.ko and obtained lots of
unknown symbols in dmesg.
do I have to install alsa-lib before?

Hi Max,
Looks like you've got ALSA down pat (that's half
the
challenge).
You shouldn't need any of the other tarballs
(alsa-driver is the big one.)
The modification to ALSA-driver is to edit the
file
alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_codec.c (in the
alsa-driver
source dir)
and add the following two lines AFTER the section
of
'#include' statements at the beginning of the
file.
these are the lines to add:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(snd_hda_codec_read);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(snd_hda_codec_write);
Be wary of the trailing semicolons... Omitting
them
will cause errors.
After you've edited the file, rebuild the alsa
drivers
(in the alsa-driver source dir) with the following
commands:
'make clean'
'make'
and then 'sudo make install'
(all minus quotes, wait for the previous command
to
finish cleanly (i.e. no errors, warnings are OK)
before moving on).
After they're installed, reboot your machine to
activate the new modules. Then, get this tarball:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-HDA-20
08 072
1-ALSA15.tar.bz2
untar with 'tar -jxvf FILE_NAME'
move into the directory, and do 'make module'.
If you get any errors, be sure to paste the output
of
'make module' in to your reply.
After that is done, copy the two .ko files to your
modules directory as described in my earlier HOWTO
e-mail. After running 'sudo depmod -ae', you
should be
able to do 'sudo modprobe agrmodem' and 'sudo
modprobe
agrserial'after which /dev/ttyAGS3 will be the
port
you can access your modem with. (for wvdial, etc.)
Good luck!
Bjorn.

Here I am again,
alsa-driver and alsa-lib 1.0.15rc3 (do I need
any
other alsa tarball?)
successfully compiled.
I didn't install them yet because, if I
understood,
they have to be modified
before compiling (am I right?).
Please let me know how I have to proceed.
Thanks again.

Hi Max,
That is quite likely. There are two versions
of
the
driver, and one relies on ALSA 1.0.16 or 17,
the
other
on 1.0.15 or earlier.
You will, however, NEED to build ALSA from the
source
tarball, since we will be making modifications
to
the
ALSA code.
At this point, I can offer two suggestions:
1. Try ALSA 1.0.15 from source
(http://www.alsa-project.org) and see if you
can
get
it to compile. If so, let me know and we can
continue.
2. Upgrade your kernel/OS and kernel-sources
to a
newer version (Say 2.6.22 or so. (The driver
works
on
openSuSE 10.3 and 11.0, which are what I've
used
it
on).
Best,
Bjorn.

Hi Bjorn,
my distribution was shipped with 1.0.14, I

1.0.15 rpm to install, though I think it

compiling agrsm-20080721. Do you have any

Thanks very very much for your time and

Hi Max,
Sounds like your kernel shipped with an
earlier
version of ALSA. You
will need to use the package with the same
name,
but having the -ALSA15
suffix instead.
You will also need to revert to
ALSA-driver
1.0.15
for that package to
work.
