Bart,
You MUST make the effort of learning Linux basics or ask somebody to
install the driver for you.
Linux has a "man" command (man short for manual) which is like help on
Windows
man make explains that make applies the contents of a file named
Makefile by default.
Linux has a cat comment to display a text file.
man cat will tell you that cat Makefile will display the contents
of file Makefile.
Linux has a more comment to display a file like cat but one page
at a time.
It even has a better command less which lest you go page by page
forward or backward.
man Makefile describes the structure of file Makefile
It contains blocks.
You will see block install: and block module:
make install executes the block named install:
make modules executes the block named modules:
Now PLEASE understandt that we are volunteers with no time to teach you
Linux.
Please learn yourself with the help, for example, of
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#basicdoc
or ask somebody who knows Linux to install your modem.
It seems that your mail comes from the Netherlands.
If correct, visit: http://www.linux.org/groups , perhaps one of the
groups is close to your city and you can arrange some hands on help.

Run "make install" to install Agere Systems Soft Modem on your system.
Run "make uninstall" to remove a previously installed modem.

What does make install do instead of make module?

Hi Bart,
try issuing 'make clean' before 'make' and if that doesn't help, you can
try 'make -I /usr/src/linux/'.
Best,
Bjorn.

Hi,
I've the build essentials and the Linux-source installed (and unpacked

I have the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.27 directory also soft linked

But still I get:

What's wrong here? Google isn't helping me here either.

Hi Bart,
Looks like you don't have the kernel source package installed?
I can see it's using the headers, but you will need to install the full
sources for the module to build successfully.

Hi Marvin and Bjorn,
Last message disappeared I think.
I took this rpm first:
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/dkms-agrsm-2.1.80-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm
But extracting gave me errors. There is something wrong with that file.
After that the deb file:
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-5_i386.deb
did extract well.
But sudo make module gave me this error:
make[2]: *** Er is geen regel om doel 'kernel/bounds.c' te maken, nodig
voor 'kernel/bounds.s'. Gestopt.
make[1]: *** [prepare0] Fout 2
make[1]: Map '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic' wordt verlaten
make: *** [module] Fout 2
I'm afraid it is in Dutch, but that won't be a problem for Bjorn I
suppose ;)
(there is no rule to make target 'kernel/bounds.c')
I have to go a long way to make this modem working!
Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Bart,
Go ahead and test.
Bjorn,
The deb variants are just conversions from the original rpm format.
The source packages are at http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
For Ubuntu users, I've been doing the compiles and putting the
compiled drivers in kernel-version specific installer packages.

Hi Bart,
To my knowledge, that is only a .deb version of the RPM I referred you to.
The link for the howto might be too long to paste in an e-mail, so visit
this link:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
and click the howto... 2nd file down after 'Parent directory'. (first
one is in russian)
You also shouldn't need to perform any of the steps that deal with
modifying the hda_codec.c code/building ALSA either.
Hope that helps,
Bjorn.

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for all your input in this!
I notice another package in this directory named:
dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-5_i386.deb
This seems to be a newer version?! Could I use that instead?
I tied this link:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/HOWTO-Agere-11c=

But it gives me a "not found".

Bart,
The modem's IRQ 11 is not shared with other devices.
So that is not a problem. The drivers I provided in the installer.deb
were compiled with code from the
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/dkms-agrsm-2.1.80-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm'

Please return outputs of

Also try simplying your System by detaching external devices and
shutting down as much as possible before testing the modem.

Hi Bart,
Yes, it can be built from source, I'll get to that in a moment.
However, can you please attach the error.txt file? I would like to
see
if this is the routine hangup that can happen with some
configurations,
or whether it is something else.
Also, what is your ALSA version? (found by issuing 'cat
/proc/asound/version')
Thanks!

Bart Verbeek wrote:
I got now relevant output to this error.txt file.
It is a total system hangup, caused by the driver/module agrmodem
and/or
agrserial. As soon as some application directs this module, the
system
hangs. I should do a disk check now. :-(
I almost lost some settings and data from evolution because of
this.
Fortunately I managed to solve that.
Is there a newer version of this module, or is it possible to
build it
from source? If so, where do I find this source package?

Hi Bart,
Sounds like the agrsm driver itself may be hanging...
You can catch the error message by issuing
'tail -f /var/log/messages > err.txt' before hanging the
system...
Upon reboot, then the err.txt file will have the output of
/var/log/messages just before it crashed.
You can forward that and we'll look at it.
HTH,

Hi Jacques,

It is not only X that hangs. It is strange enough, the whole
system.
First thing I try is CTRL-ALT-F2 or F3. But no response to this
nor Ctrl
+Alt-Backspace. Even the SysRq does not respond.
I've version 1.60.1+nmu2 installed. Force version is greyed out

Bart,
I have seen such things in the past when a then recent,
possibly still
distributed, version of wvdialconf was starting to search for
USB and
other more exotic hardware after failing to find
any /dev/ttyS* device.
I believe that I can suggest a new test with an older version
of wvdialconf.
I am using 1.54 since long and never felt any need for anything
else.
Something else: when your machine hangs, have you tried to see
if it
could be that X11, not the machine, has ceased to respond?
One way is to try to restart it is to CTRL-SHIFT-BACKSPACE.
An other way, the one I prefer, is to CTRL-SHIFT-F1 to try to
open
an ASCII pseudo-terminal (console). ps ax then shows all
running
tasks, making it possible to kill the process which blocks you,
probably
wvdialconf.
Good luck

Marv S,
I first tried the sudo agrsm-test as suggested by dpkg after
the
install. This hanged my system.
Then I manually loaded the drivers as described in usages.txt
sudo modprobe agrmodem and sudo modprobe agrserial
This did not give me a message as expected that /dev/ttyAGS3
was
created. But I checked /dev/ and /dev/ttyAGS3 is actually
there.
I created symbolic links:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and sudo ln
-s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
as described in usages.txt
So both sudo agrsm-test and wvdialconf give me a totally
hanged system.
I attached a photo from the frozen screen/computer.
noacpi did not help me either. I do not get a workable screen
with Xorg
then (Nvidia).
Is there anything else I could try?

Bart,
The drivers likely aren't loaded, or there should be
an /dev/ttySAGR
for wvdialconf to fine. It is the agrsm-tools which provides
for this
symbolic link
Make sure your boot is into 2.6.27-9-generic
Either
$ sudo agrsm-test
or
$ modprobe agrserial
$ ls -l /dev/ttySAGR
before the wvdialconf

Thanks MarvS,
I've installed those deb's and did some testing with:
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If I do this I get an output like this:
A failure will include lines like:

9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try:

Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3
At that point the system hangs totally! Not even the SysRq

Would pci=noacpi in Grub fix this?
