Just to clarify, I am not sending these messages from the machine on
which I am trying to install this driver. If I need to install
anything, I have to be able to download from another machine and
transfer via thumb drive, etc.
Second, I just noticed that somehow the Ubuntu Linux got connected to
this message and may be confusing. I am not running Ubuntu, I am
running PCLinuxOS2009.
I already downloaded the deb file you mentioned. When I try to install
the driver with the dpkg command you provided earlier, I get a message
about command not found. This is not making sense to me since it
appears that the dkms is already installed, based on the list of
packages installed in the Package Manager. All packages related to dkms
are shown as installed.
So, I am confused. I cannot install the dkms without a modem and I
cannot install the modem driver without dkms. To top it off, it appears
that dkms is already installed.
Is there a source for dkms that I can download from another mashine? I
can try to reinstall dkms from that, if you think it would help.
Thanks.

but first install the dkms package, which will direct the driver
compilation and installation.

I feel like I am missing something somewhere.
I originally downloaded the file agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825.tar.gz. After
unpacking, there are no *.deb files.
So, I rechecked and found agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825_i386.deb which I just
downloaded and tried to install with your directions. Now I get a "command
not found" message when attempting to do the dpkg command you provided.
As near as I can tell, the dkms is installed on the machine. I say that
because all dkms-related items in the Package Manager (PCLinux2009) are
listed as installed.
I am beginning to think I am in a doom-loop. I cannot install the driver
with dpkg, and I cannot connect to the internet to update any packages
because dial-up is my only means of connecting.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks for your efforts.

Martin,
Don't use the agrinst. FIrst install the dkms package, if you haven't
already.
Then start the install with
$ sudo dpkg -i agrsm*.deb
and the dkms system will take over.
With the agrsm-tools.deb package previously installed, then run
$ sudo agrsm-test
for detection of your modem.

Martin,
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz is the only package which may
provide service for the 11c1:0630 chipset
Best check that multiple driver sets are not installed somewhere:
$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name agr*.ko
If there are multiple. Best delete all and rerun the
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz install.
If this was not the last installed delete all and rerun the
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz install
It is not clear from your message below as to whether the wvdial
package is installed or not.
If not, from the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
get the wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip
Under Linux
$ unzip wv*.zip
$ cd wvdial_jaunty_i386
$ ls
install with
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Then rerun the
$ sudo agrsm-test
If successful, it will write a file /etc/wvdial.conf . Edit it with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
putting in personal info while deleting symbols: < > ;
Then try a dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
Upon a reboot the modem will be set up by:
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
You can check porsts with:
$ ls -l /dev/AGR* /dev/SAGR
and for driver loading:
$ lsmod | grep agr
Once you are online under Linux install the dkms driver update utility
with:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dkms

Several weeks ago, I sent a message back that I had tried a couple of
driver
packages to get my 11c1:0630 modem working. Unfortunately, I have lost
track since then. This is what I reported at that time.
I attempted to install the "agrsm-2.1.80limited" driver. The results
of
the
install are shown below:
./agrinst
Installing Agere Softmodem driver version 2.1.80-Red Flag NE 5.0
some files needed for installation are missing
For kicks, I ran the agrsm-test. The results of that are listed below:
Loading drivers:
Drivers loaded:
agrserial 11088 0
agrmodem 1184932 1 agrserial
and symbolic link created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 5 18:40 /dev/ttySAGR -> /dev/ttyAGS3
Checking for utility wvdialconf
Found /usr/bin/wvdialconf, preparing to run:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
A reboot may be necessary before modem detection through:
sudo modprobe agrserial
Which will load agrmodem, agrserial and create the symbolic link
needed
for:
sudo wvdialconf
I also tried to install the "agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825" with the same
result as above.
Can you walk me thru what needs to be done now?
Thanks for all the help.

Attached is the tarball packaging.
# tar zxvf agrsm.tar.gz
and see the 1stReadme.txt therein.
If you are not using the Deb installer previously sent,
the best place to unpack it is in /usr/src/ to potentially enable the
dkms support.
Jacques,
put in the 11c11040 folder please.

Most

I am far from a Linux expert (obviously), but could someone help

Thanks.

I want you to know I have the agere SV92PP 11c10620 modem card
now
running reliably. I went with a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu9.04
Jaunty
and
installation of the following:
agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb
dkms_2.0.21.1-Oubuntu3_all.deb
gnome-network-admin-2.22.1-Oubuntu1_i386.deb
Dial-up with jauntyDebs.tar.Izima This is a package consisting of
wvdial
with dependencies
Finally agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.deb
It was all double click and go with installation of agrmodem.ko
and
agrserial.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/updates/dkms
It looks like at this point from the terminal sudo agrsm-test
would
have taken me to completion save for entering my name, password
and
phone
number in ./etc/wvdial.conf. Everything is spelled out as you go
I had tried after running agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.deb
sudo modprobe agrmodem
sudo modprobe agrserial
etc, etc using the page "LSI/AgereSystems 11c11040 chipset
support
installation ,using dkms tools" from the Linmodems discussion
board
of
20DEC2008 as a guide but I got lost trying to find the file
wvtest.
sudo
agrsm-test rescued me. The modem was found on /dev/ttySAGR.
While
trying
to configure the network tools point to point connection interface
I
lost
the connection and it appears the file /dev/ttySAGR was lost but
sudo
agrsm-test brought it right back. I then had to reenter my name,
phone
and
PW but it all went pretty smoothly. My hat is off to you and the
others
who
have been so patient with all this. Thank You
Yours truly, John W
