Re: Shivku, India kernel 2.6.28-11-generic - Need Help - Segmentation fault on driver testing

Shiva,

scanModem reported this problem here if you had checked carefully:

Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.6.28 and later kernels.
A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages
for earlier kernels.
For example, for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, linux-image +
linux-headers packages
for earlier 2.26.27 series Intrepid kernels can be installed. Search
for them at:
  http://packages.ubuntu.com


The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is
http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/
whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type
installers (supporting Ubuntu too)
are copied to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
. Thereat the current package
is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted
on High Definition Audio cards.
Read the Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details.

This is something that is being worked on at the moment and hopefully
gets fixed soon so the modem can be used successfully.

Regards,

Antonio
