Re: Martin, US PCLinuxOS release 2009 (PCLinuxOS) for i586

Martin,

Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 "
CLASS=0780 , PCIDEV=11c1:0630
is a modem we haven't encountered before under Linux.
There is service for a 11c1:0630 chipset modem through a agrsm
package, for compiling an agrmodem+agrserial driver pair.

I'll add 11c1:0630 to the agrsm recognition codes and sent it to you,
tonight or tomorrow.
