Dr. Lazaro, scanModem reports that your modem is an 11c1 0620 needing package: agrsm-20090418.tar.gz Support type needed or chipset: agrsm Writing DOCs/Intel.txt The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair. One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Thereat get the agrsm_howto.txt and one of the agrsm-tools packages. The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs: 11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package. The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent. Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades. 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 detailed instructions for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.html 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 modem is a difficult one. I have tried myself to make it work, but I have gotten kernel oops and tainted messages, and if compliation succeeds, modprobe agrmodem and modprobe agrserial work, then the modem does not respond or wvdial does not find it, it could be because of : Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 15: 0 IO-APIC-edge ata_piix --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 01:0a.0 ---- PCI: 0000:01:0a.0 reg 10 io port: [b800, b8ff] pci 0000:01:0a.0: PME# supported from D3hot D3cold pci 0000:01:0a.0: PME# disabled The PCI slot 01:0a.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. I don't know if there are success stories with this modem hardware? It is a difficult one to deal with :( Regards, Antonio On 7/20/09, Dr. Lázaro J.
