Re: Agere Modem on Acer Aspire 4520

Gaurang,

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

 dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-7_i386.deb is available at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
The .deb packages can be manually installed by:
$  sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb agrsm*.deb
which will sequentially process dkms, dkms-agrsm and the agrsm-tools
packages.

After the installations run as follows:
$ sudo agrsm-test

Regards

Antonio
