Jason,
scanModem reports that your modem would be supported via martian modem drivers:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 02:0b.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:044c
SUBSYS=11c1:044c
IRQ=255
IDENT=Agere.DSP
For candidate modem in: 02:0b.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:044c
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
http://packages.debian.org/sid/martian-modem-source/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.
See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.
At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
get the martian-full-20100123.tar.gz and follow Readme-NOW.html
-------------- end Agere Systems section -------------------
NOTE:
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
This requires 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.
But before you get the martian modem package , you will need to take care of :
Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
02:0b.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem (rev 02)
High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.
For candidate card in slot 02:0b.0, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name

02:0b.0 11c1:044c 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere
Systems LT WinModem
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
===================================
The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!!
The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!!
Possible corrections are:
1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a
non-PNP/Other Operating System type.
Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within:
Additional Resourcces.
2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
Here is an example paragraph from /boot/grub/menu.lst :
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
savedefault
2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq".
3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.
=====================================
Which has some suggestions that you may try out. If you have
different pci slots, you may change the modem to a free one?, see if
that fixes this IRQ problem. Let us know how this goes.
Regards,
Antonio
