Marv & Manish,
The output from scanModem reports that the agrsm-tools package does
provide for autoloading?
The agrsm-tools package supports driver autoloading, but does not itself
contain drivers.
This brings up a question regarding the new /etc/modprobe.d/ directory
that is now become depracated? How is the driver to be loaded if not
put directly in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory?
The only thing that I can come up with is a modified script for
/etc/init.d/ and use of chkconfig and add it as a service with it.
Something like
#!/bin/sh
#
# agrsmd: Starts the agrsm-11c11040 Modem Daemon
#
# chkconfig: 345 90 10
# description: This is the user space part of the
11c11040 agrsm Modem driver
modprobe agrmodem
modprobe agrserial
if ! [[ -e /dev/modem ]] &> /dev/null; then
{
echo "Linking /dev/ttyAGS3 to /dev/modem to let kppp access modem"
ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
}
fi
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting agrsm . . ."
modprobe agrmodem
modprobe agrserial
echo "done"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down agrsm . . ."
modprobe -r agrserial
modprobe -r agrmodem
echo "done"
;;
status)
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: agrsm {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
save it to agrsmd. Then copy this file over to /etc/rc.d/init.d or
/etc/init.d/ folder and add it with chkconfig as superuser
$ su -
passwd:
# cp agrsmd /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/init.d/
# chkconfig agrsm --add
then check to see if the links are created or not?
[root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig agrsmd on
[root@localhost init.d]# cd ..
[root@localhost rc.d]# for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
and you should see some K00? and S00? stuff created with agrsmd.
Modified a bit to match agrsm from slmodemd startup script found here.

I do not know if this will actually work, but I did have some success
with modified pctel scripts with chkconfig in Fedora. I hope that the
script works but it comes with no warranty :( I know the script
somehow works in Slax, but only Hugo confirmed that it works since I
could not get the agrsm 11c1:0620 modem to work for me.
Regards,
Antonio
