It does include an update that should work on 2.6.31, but I don't have that kernel to test it. The driver works well on 2.6.29.6. I've currently been connected for over 2 weeks, at 53666 baud. I'll have to wait and see about later versions when the next Slackware release comes out. This machine unfortunately cannot be taken down for testing, only major upgrades. You've mentioned several kernel versions. Which version do you normally use? > 2.6.26 won't compile citing an error in a struct definition). The struct uart_info in the kernel changed a bit around that time. Use an older code package for older kernels. The driver has only been updated to follow the kernel changes, there are no functionality updates. This link is to an older version, which I think should work on that kernel. It's source only and not dkms capable, so you'll have to compile and install manually. Always make sure to remove old modules before installing new ones. <http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm-20080203.tar.gz> Marv, Jacques: I notice newer 048c/f packages are going in the 11c11040 directory instead of sv92.

This is not needed unless there is an IRQ conflict. Run 'lspci -v', to check that.

Because it currently > reports: --- no soundcards --- The 11c1:048c/f is on a stand-alone PCI card and is not part of the sound device, as more recent Agere modems have been. So this driver does not use ALSA, and ALSA doesn't know anything about this modem. -- Joshua Crawford ... http://geocities.com/mortarn http://www.rewardscentral.com.au/Join/Default.aspx?refer=mortarn Be rewarded!
