Giovanni,

There appears to be no functionality under x86_64 :(

The AGRSM code package is not yet functionally on x86_64 systems,
except in Intel architecture
emulation mode.  This is because there is a 32 bit encypted component,
precompiled at LSI/Agere Inc. It cannot be functionally linked with
other 64 bit components compiled on a x86_64 system.
When/if LSI Inc. provides the encypted component in 64 bit format,
service will be possible.

Regards,

Antonio
