===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.20
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None

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 2.26.28 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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1
linux-headers-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and
possibly others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
