Dear Nikolay, Marv & et all, I have tried the agrsm code that worked in 11c1:0620 agere modem on an 11c1:0630 modem that came on emachines that I had, and it worked!!! I am reporting success and thanking Nikolay and others who have worked on the Agere LSI code. Ran, make clean, make install(failed) and then used ./agrinstall to install the modem drivers : olivares@darkstar:~/Downloads$ cd agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106 olivares@darkstar:~/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106$ make clean make -C /lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/build M=/home/olivares/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106 clean make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33' CLEAN /home/olivares/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/.tmp_versions CLEAN /home/olivares/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/Module.symvers /home/olivares/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/modules.order make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33' olivares@darkstar:~/Downloads/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106$ make all make: *** No rule to make target `all'.

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. -------------- end Agere Systems section ------------------- Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:05.0: Modem chipset not detected on NAME="Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=10de:03f0 SUBSYS=1025:0153 IRQ=27 For candidate modem in: 00:05.0 0403 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio Primary device ID: 10de:03f0 Support type needed or chipset: Completed candidate modem analyses.
