Hello there,
I'm trying to get my modem working for some days, still no luck.
I've attached the modemdata.
I compile the driver (agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225), i install it
and load the modules, then i get:
[ 677.293574] * Hello Agere Driver **

then i fire up wvdial to use the device and i get nothing, but i have
this in dmesg:

As you can see i'm running ubuntu karmic, kernel 2.6.31-18-generic .
Sometimes wvdial even freezes my computer.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on your System.
For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
wvdial_karmic_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.
The dkms driver upgrade utilities are installed,
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

* KV == latest kernel release with a reported success
!! Latest update with major credit to Nikolay Zhuravlev
But see conflict issue: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg02753.html
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: 4.4.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-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
