Thanks Nikolay,
But the mdv sources do not support my modem. The support is
experimental as Marv has added the 11c1:0630 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.

On the other hand I made a module(slax module) that could be tested
with 11c11040 chipsets. I posted on slax forum and would like more
feedback on it so that I can fix it and hope that more users benefit
from these drivers.
Thanks,
Antonio
