Ron, Sadly for host systems with CPU=x86_64, the agrsm code cannot serve, because there is an incompatible precompiled 32 bit component. While we have asked LSI (formerly AgereSystems) for a 64 bit compile, it has for a few years not as yet been done. Additionally, the agrsm06pci_2.1.80 code package was last successfull under 2.6.28 kernels. A volunteer upgrade to 2.6.31 will likely get done soon. At that time the modem could be served if you installed the 32 bit Ubuntu code. Read the InfoGeneral.txt if you want to consider other modem hardware for the short term MarvS scanModem maintainer On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 8:47 AM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ronald, > > scanModem reports that you have an agrsm modem with chipset 11c1:0630 modem. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 04:00.0: > Modem chipset detected on > NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 " > CLASS=0780 > PCIDEV=11c1:0630 > SUBSYS=11c1:0630 > IRQ=7 > IDENT=agrsm > > For candidate modem in: 04:00.0 > 0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 > Primary device ID: 11c1:0630 > Support type needed or chipset: agrsm > > > > > There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the > modem may be > supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce > x86_64 processors. > > > The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + > agrserial driver pair. > There are a few different chipsets which use this driver pair, but > they use different code resources: > Chipsets KV* PackageNames (most current as > of November 2009) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f 2.6.29 > agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20091022_i386.deb or > agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20091022.tar.gz > 11c1:0620 2.6.28 > agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.deb or > agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.tar.gz > 11c11040 (on HDA audio cards) 2.6.27 > dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-9mdv2009.0_i386.deb or > agrsm-2.1.80-10mdv2009.0.tar.gz > All available at: > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ , whereat > additionally > automation & testing agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb or > agrsm-tools-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm > General background agrsm_howto.txt > for rpm variants of dkms-agrsm , see > http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > * KV == latest kernel release with a reported success > > All of the above packages are dkms competent.
