Hi:
I'm trying to follow the instructions in
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/HOWTO-Agere-11c11040-HDA.html
to install a software modem in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid
(2.6.27-16-generic) on a Toshiba A-135 laptop. Output from scanModem
is attached.
Problem 1:
Sound doesn't work. I found that the Ubuntu modules source code is
not to be found in /lib/modules/2.6.27-16-generic/ where I expected
it, so I downloaded what I believe to be the correct code distribution
from the Ubuntu website to /home/userdude/ubuntu-intrepid, found
hda_codec.c and edited as instructed, and typed make modules in the
ubuntu-intrepid directory. It did compile, but after I cp'd
snd-hda-intel.ko to
/lib/modules/2.6.27-16-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda and re-booted, my
sound doesn't work. I can go back to the old snd-hda-intel.ko and my
sound works fine.
Problem 2:
I went ahead with the steps of downloading and compiling the driver
software and got an error message:

So I need help. Any suggestions?

* KV == latest kernel release with a reported success
!! Latest update with major credit to Nikolay Zhuravlev
Report from Bjorn Wielens:
Please note- trying to load the modules on a OpenSuSE 11.2 system gives
an error about the module_version symbol. Using:
# modprobe --force agrmodem
# modprobe --force agrserial
is necessary to load the drivers, and does not appear to cause ill effects.
All of the above packages are dkms competent. This means that if your Linux distros dkms package
is previously installed, if provides for future updates matching forthcoming kernels.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-16-generic/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
