Antonio,
I got it!
It seems that I didn't install the packages in correct sequence -- dkms
should be installed BEFORE argsm*.deb
Thank you!
Antony

Antony,
Have you rebooted your machine?

A reboot may be necessary before modem detection through:
sudo modprobe agrserial
Which will load agrmodem, agrserial and create the symbolic link needed for:
sudo wvdialconf

Also you may be benefitted by installing dkms package:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-7_i386.deb
Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides
for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel.
Let us know if that helped.

Antonio

Antony,
Your modem is supported through agrsm-11c11040 modem drivers
Do download:
agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb
and
agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb
install with
$ sudo dpkg -i agrsm*
as scanModem reports:

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem +
agrserial driver pair.
There are a few different chipsets which use this driver pair, but
they use different code resources:

General background agrsm_howto.txt

* KV == latest kernel release with a reported success
!! Latest update with major credit to Nikolay Zhuravlev
But see conflict issue:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg02753.html
For the 11c11040 chip with kernels 2.6.31 and later a change in a
modules loading settingmay be necessary.
Within the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (or equivalent for
your Distro), change the phrase:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10
to:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0
or the agrsm drivers will not function. For Ubuntu related systems
this can be done with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
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.
