Larry,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported by martian modem drivers:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:10.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems WinModem 56k "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:0448
SUBSYS=1668:2000
IRQ=5
IDENT=Agere.DSP
For candidate modem in: 00:10.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems WinModem 56k
Primary device ID: 11c1:0448
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
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/
get the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz and follow Readme-NOW.html
0x0448 -- Mars 2 Global Board - data/fax/voice
-------------- end Agere Systems section -------------------
But you do need to hunt down some packages libc6? see here:
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
After you install the libc6-devel and linux-libc-devel
untar martian-full-20080625.tar.gz with
$ tar -zxvf martian-full-20080625,tar,gz
cd to martian and read REAME and follow instructions provided.
Regards,
Antonio
