Re: Need help to install Agere Modem on Acer Aspire 5738Z (kernel 2.6.28-11-generic)

Mohammad,

scanModem reports that you have an 11c11040 modem and under your
current kernel, the driver packages have not been known to work or
reported to have problems, one way around this is to install a
previous kernel 2.6.27-Xgeneric for Ubuntu given in the directions by
scanModem

 For detailed instructions for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, see
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.html

                         The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c11040


 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.

Antonio
