Bjorn has made the observation that 11c11040 chip modems have not yet been successfully used under the new 2.6.28 kernels. Searching through the List mail, this does sadly seem to be true. So herein I am giving more explicit instructions for the temporary work around. The major functional point is that Jaunty installation does support the earlier 2.6.27 kernels, under which the 11c11040 chipset modems have been well supported by the dkms-agrsm packages. These instructions are given for the specific case of Ubuntu Jaunty installations, but it should be obvious how to extend the instructions to other Systems. Here are the URLs from which to start download of the necessary packages: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ get the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb , agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb and agrsm_howto.txt >From the following URLs, just get the primary package named, as the dependencies are already satisfied on your Ubuntu system. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/dkms http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-headers-2.6.27-11 http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic Should you have an alternate ethernet/wireless connection, the short way to install the last four packages is to: $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to add a line: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted Then: $ sudo apt-get update after which: $ sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic dkms linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic will suffice to get and install the four packages Remember afterward to remove the additional line, though it will do no harm. If the phone line is your only connection. Then download all the above manually, and copy to your personal folder. Therein all the *.deb packages will be co-installed by: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Afterwards, reboot using the -2.6.27-11-generic choice. The agrmodem + agrserial drivers will be compiled and installed automatically. The first test to run is: $ sudo agrsm-test which hopefully will find the modem. Apologies if some of you receive this message twice, but I'm not sure whether all of you are on the list MarvS ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, May 10, 2009 at 1:19 PM Subject: Re: 11c11040 probem Re: Rami, Syria kernel 2.6.28-11-generic To: rami daoud <ramidawod34@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linmodems <discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Rami, Please join the List through the SUBSCRIBE link at http://www.linmodems.org and send email to the List, not directly to individuals, to benefit from the broadest experience!! With Linux unlike Microsoft, reinstallations are typically NOT necessary, and time wasteful RE: > /var/lib/dpkg/info/dkms-agrsm.postinst: 2: /usr/sbin/dkms: not found you have to install the dkms package first, then the dkms-agrsm and agrsm-tools packages Assuming Bjorn is correct, the quickest way to get online is to download kernel 2.6.27-11-generic support by getting packages from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-headers-2.6.27-11 http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic just get the primary packages as the dependencies are already supported under Jaunty They can be co-installed with with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb Then reboot with the 2.6.27-11-generic kernel, and run the: $ sudo agrsm-test Once you have service under 2.6.27-11-generic, we can later work on the 2.6.28 problems.
