Re: 11c1:048c Re: any success with Ubuntu Jaunty and Lucent-Agere winmodems?

The current confirmed support is with the
agrsm-20090418.tar.gz  at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
See Josh Crawford's report:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00475.html.

David,
   You need the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz update, not 20080203.tar.gz for
your 2.6.28 kernel.
