Antonio & Marvin:
Thanks for the replies and the suggestions. I will try the agrsm-20090502 and the utility as soon as I can. If no success, I will try the agrsm-2.1.80. Unfortunately, I now have limited access to the machine, since it is at my parents'. I will be able to try these in late May. I will post back either way when I can. I am not ignoring you, just delayed.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Jacques,

Put the attached in the ltmodem/11c11040/  folder.

Antonio & Martin,
   The attached differs from the previous code only if that I have
added to agrmodem.c
the recognition code for 11c1:0630.  Install the agrsm-tools after the
drivers, and it will set you up for a following:
# agrsm-test
per sample below

Please test and report back as able on your System.

A reboot may be necessary before modem detection through:
	sudo modprobe agrserial
Which will load agrmodem, agrserial and create the symbolic link needed for:
	sudo wvdialconf


The installation record has been written to ./agrsm-test.txt
---------------
on my System there is of course failure for lack of the compatible hardware.

Martin,

I have the same modem on three emachines that I have.  I installed
Fedora 10 x86_64 and whatever chance they had of working decipated
because I chose x86_64.  I guess you lose nothing except time if you
try compiling the agrsm-20080418.tar.gz.  Backup everything that you
have that is important and if you feel like giving it a chance go
ahead and try.  I am going to be honest here, if you have a livecd you
should not run into trouble.  Something like Slax Live Cd or the PC
LinuxOS cd running in Live Mode and trying it out like that.  If it
works and you can dialout, then install it.  The risk would be less.

Regards,

Antonio

I have been monitoring activity since our last contact.  I have been
watching for modems that seem similar to my 11c1:0630.
Marvin recently suggested using the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz file for an
11c1:0620. Do you have any thoughts/comments on whether this driver might
work for my 0630?

I do plan on trying this driver when I can, but I thought you may have some
ideas that it may not be worth the effort to try.
Thanks.

This is difficult to diagnoze.  Hope that you get it going though,
Marv has given you great advice after the last message you have sent,
try to do a
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and hopefully the modem gets seen and you can connect with it and not
get another OOOPS like the one above.

Regards,

Antonio

I was not trying to indicate that I was going to throw in the towel on
this.
 If I did, I apologize.  I would definitely like (must) get this modem
going
as it is the only internet connection available.
I did the modprobe commands you suggested both ways.  When I executed the
link between AGS3 and modem, I get the message:  "Creating symbolic link
'dev/modem' to 'dev/ttyAGS3':  File exists"  (I don't know why I did not
notice that before).  A list command shows /dev/modem linked to ttyS0.
 Could that be the problem?  Unfortunately, I am not expert enough to
know
how to change the link on /dev/modem.  Please provide the necessary
commands.
Either way, I tried the noacpi route.  The results are the same.

Martin,

working with these types of modems can be a pain, but before you give
up, throw the towel please do the following.

when you do a
# modprobe agrserial
# modprobe agrmodem
or the other way around?
# modprobe agrmodem
# modprobe agrserial

then you may run the agrsm-test:(oops that is for 11c11040 :(
driver(s)).  Anyhow you may make symbolic links

# ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
# ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem

if a failure by wvdialconf to find the modem port occurs again, edit
the grub.conf file and add the option "pci=noacpi"

Also if none of the above advice worked, please attach what you did,
copy and paste to this message also please add the output of dmesg
and/or lsmod so that we can see if the modules were loaded or not.

Regards,

Antonio

I followed the instructions in the "agrsm_howto.txt" file.  It appears
that
it did not work.
The first indication was that the "modprobe agrserial" command did not
return the creation of ttyAGS3.  It simply came back to the prompt.
 The
wvdialconf command came back simply saying that no modem was found.  I
did
try the two remedied described, but no luck.
I even went so far as to re-install Linux from scratch in case some of
my
earlier attempts messed something up.  The results are the same as I
describe above.
Let me know if there is something else I should try.  Please be fairly
detailed as I am  a relative newbie to Linux (about a year old).

Thanks.

Martin,

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

If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access
it.
Try with Root permission
$  wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:

Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset

If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities
are:
 1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 10de:03f0, as Conexant

Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php
to
find
the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros,
there
are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within

A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of
the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be
used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home
folder
is
OK)
and unzipped with:
 unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with
root/adm
permission:
 dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:

require
installation of additional packages, one of the
alsa-driver-linuxant

Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch

See

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement snd-hda-intel +
its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem
installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
 wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

Start at  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a
driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided
driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides
compiling
support

vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed
such as:
 ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
 ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.



The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
        and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
 make utility - /usr/bin/make
 Compiler version 4.1
 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/build

However some compilations and executable functions may need
additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection
installed
in
 /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The
also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by
default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and
libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be
needed.




If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to
/usr/include.
The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command
to
display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through
http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
