Nikolay,
Points you properly raise are answered herein.
First we do have success reports for the agrsm0620 package under
2.6.31, for the 11c1:0620 chipset. So again Thanks for your code
updates!!
Bjorn has reported that the AgereMdmDaemon affects Audio support, but
may interfere with the modem, at least for drivers compiled from the
agrsm-11c11040 package,
so I by pass its usage.
Note that the files installed by the agrsm-tools-0.0.1.deb package are:
|
|-- etc
| `-- modprobe.d
| `-- agrsm.conf
`-- usr
|-- sbin
| `-- agrsm-test
`-- share
`-- doc
`-- agrsm-tools
|-- LICENSE.gz
|-- changelog.gz
|-- copyright
`-- usages.txt.gz
in particular the agrsm.conf does indeed have the .conf ending Ubuntu advises.
You may have an older version of this .deb which installs /etc/modprobe.d/agrsm
RE: I would argue that there is no reason to do 'sudo make' in Ubuntu
or elsewhere.
Certainly TRUE if one is working in ones /home/User/ folder. Just
$ make
is successful therein
However I do my compiling/testing in sub folders of /usr/src/ , where
there are permission issues. Others may not encounter the "sudo"
problem I mentioned in there distros.
Want remains puzzling to me is that I don't have this "sudo" problem,
with the other agrsm-11c11040 or agrsmpci06 source packages.
I haven't taken time to work this problem through, so have just taken
the easy way of warning potential users.
/usr/src/ is the default folder in which the DKMS module auto update
service expects to find driver source packages. That is a major
reason of my doing developmental testing therein.
RE: Also, notice how I do not get allall the warnings listed in the
compile log at the end of the 1stReadme.txt file.
--------------------------------------
Thanks!! I'll do the update.
