Russel, Marv sent the following message to list which should help you in setting up your modem. Read it carefully and apply the steps given. <quote from Marv> First read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.html More general info follows. MarvS ============ Packages "agrsm" provide resources for compiling the agrmodem + agrserial driver pair. For the 11c11040 (VEN_11C1&DEV_1040) modem chips on High Definition Audio cards, the driver resource is called dkms-agrsm and maintained at http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ , There are a few installation formats. First install your Distro's dkms package The dkms toolset automates compiling, including compiling of needed update drivers when an update kernel is installed. Test if already installed with: dkms --help If not installed or on your installation media, check your distribution's repository. See the example at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.html For Ubuntu, the repository is at http://packages.ubuntu.com. Comments are more general compiling support are below. http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ has copies and some updates in Debian installation formats and related documentation and tools. There is a agrsm_howto.txt, though it's leading compilation section is not needed for all cases below. There are a few cases of support implementation, depending on the host system and particular chip type. The agrsm-tools package creates symbolic links and runs a first functional test, provided the wvdial package is installed. Upon download and copying into your Linux partition, installation can be done with: $ sudo dpkg -i agrsm*.deb or one of the more sophisticated installation tools. For a few Ubuntu kernels, driver installation packagea are at agrsm-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.14_i386.deb agrsm-2.6.27-9-generic_2.6.27-9.14_i386.deb for 2.6.27-7-generic and 2.6.27-9-generic kernels ONLY. Resources are at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ For the modem chips 11c1:0620, 11c1:0630 and 11c1:048c(or f), 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. The 11c1:0620 chipset is also supported by the dkms-agrsm package (reports Hugo Canelli) For implementation guidance, get the agrsm_howto.txt from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c1040/ . However the leading compiling section should be skipped for installation done with dkms tools. For Debian/Ubuntu related systems also get the from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ the agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb. Though lacking drivers, it automates setup of symbolic links initiated by $ sudo modprobe agrserial and also has a utility, called by: $ sudo agrsm-test For kernels earlier than 2.6.26 the more laborious procedures. A simplest route is to get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ one of: kernel-2.6.21.0-22.i686.rpm linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb as their module set contains the drivers, but just for kernel 2.6.21.0-22. For the Ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic kernel, there is a driver package agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz For kernels between 2.6.21 and 2.6.26 read the HOWTO-Agere-11c11040-HDA.html, which relates a laborious procedure involving kernel-source code. A single root/adm command: modprobe agrserial will provide for loading both drivers and symbolic /dev/ttySAGR link creation, if the following two lines to some file in the /etc/modprobe folders. install agrserial /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agrmodem ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agrserial && \ test -e /dev/ttySAGR || ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR remove agrserial /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove agrserial ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove agrmodem && { if test -L /dev/ttySAGR; then rm /dev/ttySAGR; fi } ; true They will alternatively be installed by the package agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb </quote> Regards, Antonio On 7/17/09, Russell Murray <russelllmurray@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, very confused about where to go next.
