Frank:
RE: note how the 2 codecs are detected
Thanks for pointed out this case.
Yes, SIL27 and SIL21 for the same:
Primary device ID: 1106:3068
Subsystem PCI_id 1071:7321
Though rare, there are cases like this. Probably the modem assembler
just changed/hacked the Subsystem firmware designation ffrom SIL21 ->
SIL27 (or vice versa) to specify the desired Agere or Pctel software
under Microsoft.
Of course under Linux, there is no functionality difference
The ALSA driver snd-via82xx-modem + smart helper slmodemd provides
function regardless.
If you find other cases not represented in scanModem,
it would suffice to send just the dataset like:
Primary device ID: 1106:3068
Subsystem PCI_id 1071:7321
Codec (like SIL24, BCM64, CXT23 etc)
