Martin, On an experimental basis, we have added the 11c1:0630 recognition codes to the packages serving 11c1:0620 modems. Sadly for the few users running tests on 11c1:0630 hardware, there have been no successes. LSI/AgereSystems has been informed of this problem. But typically, they do not upgrade their Linux code without sponsorship from some major buyer of their chipsets.
