Marv and Martin,
I took one of my emachines EL 1200-01e which has the 0630 chipset:
For candidate card in slot 03:00.0, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
03:00.0 11c1:0630 11c1:0630 Communication controller: Agere Systems
Unknown device 0630
I tried to follow the directions carefully but to no avail. The
kernel encounters a bug. This was just to try it out and report back
output.

It seems that this modem does not yet have support :(, but we can
continue to test code as it comes in if necessary.

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.17
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-04: ALC888 Analog : ALC888 Analog : capture 1
00-00: ALC888 Analog : ALC888 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22
PCI slot 00:05.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.27.8/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 03:00.0:

NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Unknown device 0630 "
CLASS=0780

For candidate modem in: 03:00.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems Unknown device 0630
Primary device ID: 11c1:0630
Support type needed or chipset: agrsm
The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair.
One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
Thereat get the agrsm-howto.txt, through the compiling steps are only cogent to modems
with 11c1:0260, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package.
If your Distro uses Debian packages, also get the agrsm-tools.deb package.
For AgereSystems/LSI 11c11040 chip hosted on High Definition Audio cards, your Linux
Distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem
specific dkms-agrsm resources. For an example of what to expect, read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.html
The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
whereat a few differnt packaging types are available. For your convenience
dkms-agrsm-CurrentVersion.deb are also available at to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
The .deb packages can be manually installed by:
$ dpkg -i dkms*.deb agrsm*.deb
which will sequentially process dkms, dkms-agrsm and the agrsm-tools packages.
Read the DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details.

SUBSYS=1025:0153
IRQ=22
HDA=10de:03f0

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 10de:03f0.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 10de:03f0 does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 10de:03f0, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.4
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.4
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27.8/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
