Ah yes, your architecture will do that- I missed that in your original message, sorry about that! Are you running a 64 bit version of Linux? If so, I'm afraid you'll be out of luck for this modem, since the proprietary core is compiled only for x86. (You can, however, switch to a 32-bit install if you wish, and it should work there.) There are THEORETICAL ways to get the driver working on 64 bit systems, but they would require someone with a lot of time/programming/assembly skills, so they remain untested to date. (or someone with enough power to persuade LSI to make an x86_64 compile of their code!) If you are already on a 32 bit install, you will need to follow the steps to build your own driver here: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/HOWTO-Agere-11c11040-HDA.html Let me know how it goes- I'll do my best to help you get it working!
