Re: Agere sv92 Modem wont build!

John,

Can you please try a newer driver:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm-20090418.tar.gz

and report back. Also, you may try to address:

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
===================================
 The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!!
 The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!!
 Possible corrections are:
  1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other
Operating System type.
  Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
     http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within:
Additional Resourcces.
  2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
     Here is an example paragraph from  /boot/grub/menu.lst :
   title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
   root            (hd0,6)
   kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq
   initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
   savedefault
  2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq".
  3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
  4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
  5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.
=====================================

 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:0a.0 ----

If you get the driver to compile successfully, it will not work
because of above problem :(

Regards,

Antonio
