With a CPU=x86_64 supporting installation,
there is no support for
Primary device ID: 8086:293e
Subsystem PCI_id 1025:0176
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 0x11c11040
----
because 64 bit code cannot be joined with a 32 bit component in the
software package.
Keeping your current installation, you would need a modem with a
slightly more expensive Controller Chipset, either external or
internal. Read InfoGeneral.txt about such modems
But if you should choose to completely replace your x86_64
installation, with a 32 bit Ubuntu installation,
the 0x11c11040 chipset modem can be supported
The currently used agrsm code is from updates at
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-5_i386.deb to
see an example at:
