Dear fellow LinModems members,
This is a success report for Agere Modem supported by martian modem
drivers martian-full-20080625.tar.gz under 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE
fedora kernel. The only strange thing that appears is a message from
dmesg:
This one: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
I wonder what that means, but I have a working connection, I will
probably try later, pctel and intel 536 modems as soon as I can get
the other machine going. The machine with the above modems does not
turn on only beeps :(
martian loaded - 20080620
martian 0000:00:0b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
IRQ 19/164x: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
martian: added device 11c1:44e BaseAddress = 0xcc00, CommAddres =
0xc800, irq = 19
martian: smp ioctls are obsolete
martian_modem is attached.
Regards,
Hope all the best for a nice holiday :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Antonio

can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for
dialup service.

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides
for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
martian_dev
If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please
provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The PCI slot 00:0b.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.

martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.
See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.
At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
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:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
