Leon, I don't know what to tell you, but scanModem does indeed show what you suspected :( /* There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the modem may be supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce x86_64 processors. */ The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 -------------------------------------------------------- Codec: LSI ID 1040 Address: 1 Function Id: 0x2 Vendor Id: 0x11c11040 Subsystem Id: 0x11c10001 Revision Id: 0x100200 Modem Function Group: 0x1 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x11c11040 If not a Conexant modem, the driver agrsm with its dependent drivers: ---------- provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.

The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrserial driver pair.

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 ------------------- Even if you install in 32 bit, you might have difficulties with this chipset.
