Thanks Marvin. I'll try as soon as I can.
Now I switched my box to Lenny i386. I compiled the drivers using this
tarball:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm-20080203.tar.gz
I followed the procedure, don't see any error when I do modprobe in
/var/log/messages. Device /dev/ttyAGS3 is created, but I don't have
response from modem using minicom or configuring ppp with pppconfig.
May be something related to acpi?
Regards,
Matías

Matias,
If you compile martian_drv.ko as 64 bit and martian_modem as 32 bit,
the two will work together on a x86_64 system.

Marvin,
Thanks for your answer!
Well, bad luck. I think I will switch my distro back to i386 architecture. I
have another modem which I was using with "martian" but I think I'll have
the same problem trying to compile martian on x86-64.
Thanks and congratulations for the job you've been doing on linmodems.

Re: Is it possible to compile or use the driver in AMD-64 bits?
Sadly no. There are precompiled 32 bit components which are not
compatible with a 64 bit compile. LSI/Agere has not responded to a
request to provide these in 64 bit format.

Hello all!
I got a new box with and amd processor. So I'm using Debian Lenny for
architecture AMD-64.
In that box I have a modem with Agere chipset from the vendor Advantek.
The info in lspci and scanmodem (I'm at work now and I don't have my
modemdata file with me, but I'll post when I get home if necessary).
Modem ID:
11c1:0620 11c1:0620 Communication controller: Agere Systems Unknown
device
0620
As I found after some googling I downloaded the driver from here:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm-20080203.tar.gz
At my job I just tested compilling the driver in a Lenny i386
architecture.
Everything went ok.
My question is: Is it possible to compile or use the driver in AMD-64
bits?
I red that some drivers could work in 64 bits if they are compilled in 32
bits mode... Is that so? How could I do it?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Matías
