Benjamin,
In your scanModem output there is no sign of presence of any Agere modem
hardware (which would couple to the agrsm driver).
The driver is a program, not hardware. You can always send soem data to
any program: perhaps the driver tries to do soemthing, but whatever it
will do will be sent into vacuum, The presence of the agrsm can only
cause trouble when trying to use the right driver.
The Intel HECI controller can in no way drive a modem. HECI has nothing
to do with that.
Thus scanModem has not found anything resembling a modem in your computer.
"Hopefully" (poor you) you may have Windows running on the same machine.
In the folder where scanModem created its output (the file
ModemData.txt), there is information of using Windows in identifying
some of the modem information, often enough to know how to proceed
under Linux.
Please try that approach.
It would help us a lot to know if your computer is a laptop or a
desktop. If destop, open the box and follow back the cable connected
to the modem jack until you land on a card or on a chip, and copy for us
anything readable on the card or chip.

Hi,
agrsm-11c11040 packages was not recommended by scanModem utility. But I did
not find any other software.
What does the following reports?
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Wvdial (original numSupportedDevice)

Kernel-Msg:

I run 'nm agrmodemlib.o_shipped | grep numSupportedDevice'
and it tells me the binary blob is using the variable in some way.
Maybe something inside that blob maxed out when you added the line?
What if instead of adding the line you replace some existing
line with your line?
I changed an existing line but get this output, when accessing the device
with wvdial:

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.32.6/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.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32.6.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-32
may be needed to support driver compiling.
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

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to
match your modem's port.
