Abrham,

scanModem reports that you have an 11c11040 modem by LSI.  It is
supported, but you may have to downgrade your kernel to an earlier
one.

\begin{QUOTE}
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

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.

scanModem also reports that you don't have wvdial installed on your system:

The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
For Ubuntu Jaunty users, there are at the bottom of
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/:
     wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip   for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
     wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip    for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size.  After downloaded and copied into your
Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will  complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.

and also if and if you install the drivers correctly and everything
almost works but does not, it might be because of :

For candidate card in slot 00:1b.0, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:

 The PCI slot 00:1b.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.


Regards,

Antonio
