Hi Joshua,
Thank you for your suggestions.
Firstly I tried to compile agrsm-20080203.tar.gz with my original 2.6.26
kernel (as is shipped with debian lenny). This compiled properly,
unfortunately there was no change in behavior when I ran wvdialconf. It
still didn't respond to the ATZ command as i demonstrated in one of my
previous posts.
Secondly i tried your recommendation for using the 2.6.29 kernel, with
the 2.6.29 kernel I reinstalled agrsm048pci-2.1.60_worked20100108_i386.deb.
This also had no effect, no response to the ATZ command.
Besides that I finally was able to have the PCI card placed in a
different slot on the motherboard (as i do not have direct acces to the PC).
This had a unexpected result:
After modprobing them /var/log/messages returns the usual:
agrmodem: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
agrsm 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
agrsm: created 1 infos
ttyAGS3 at I/O 0xd800 (irq = 21) is a AgereModem
agrserial: Loading module Agere Modem Interface driver version
2.1.60.0.Linspire (2005-11-16)
After setting up the symbolic links (/dev/modem and /dev/ttySAGR) I run
wvdialconf again, but this time it stalls:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

This is where it stalls for about a minute.... and then contiues.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
This stalling happens on both the 2.6.29 and 2.6.26 kernels.
As a last ditch effort to get this modem working I attached the output
of lspci -vv to this post. Maybe you can spot a conflict, if you can't
find one i think I'm going to give up on this modem.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
G'day Robin. Sorry for the late reply. I'm the quasi-maintainer of the
agrsm 11c1:048c/f driver.
I'm in the process of installing a WinModem from Agere/Lucent on Debian
Lenny.
According to scanModem the modem's PCI ID is 11c1:048c.
Knowing this I successfully installed the driver from
agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100106_i386.deb onto my system.
Inserting the created kernel modules (agrmodem& agrserial) don't give any
errors in /var/log/messages.
After confirming that /dev/ttyAGR3 exists and creating symbolic links to it
(/dev/ttySAGR& /dev/modem) I try to run wvdialconf to confirm that
everything went correctly.
But unfortunatly wvdialconf returns the following:

Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

I tried changing kernels, 2.6.30 and 2.6.32, both have the same behaviour (
So far, I've only updated the code to work on 2.6.29.*. 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.

Marv, Jacques: I notice newer 048c/f packages are going in the
11c11040 directory instead of sv92. Why is that?
Also tried various boot parameters: pci=pollirq pci=routeirq pci=noacpi and
These shouldn't be necessary since an update in 2008.
disabling the on-board soundcard.
This is not needed unless there is an IRQ conflict. Run 'lspci -v', to
check that. Or send us the output of scanModem so we can check it.
And i tried older versions of the driver
(agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20090905_i386.deb) and compiling by hand
(agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108.tar.gz)
Seeing as there are no error message I don't know where to look for a
problem, can anyone point me in the right direction?
P.S. I don't quite understand the relationship between the agrsm driver and
ALSA, should my modem be listed in /proc/asound/cards ? 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.
