Glenn, This line tells the story: /* 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. */ If you had 32 bit linux installed, Your modem is supported by agrsm06pci-2.1.80_20100106_i386.deb or agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106.tar.gz !! drivers. You may get the *.deb and install with $ sudo dpkg -i agrsm06* and use of dkms would be encouraged: Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates, following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 01:05.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Lucent V.92 Data/Fax Modem" CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=11c1:0620 SUBSYS=11c1:0620 IRQ=10 HDA2=00:05.0 IDENT=agrsm For candidate modem in: 01:05.0 0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems Lucent V.92 Data/Fax Modem Primary device ID: 11c1:0620 Support type needed or chipset: agrsm 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 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: Chipsets KV* PackageNames (most current as of November 2009) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f 2.6.29 agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108_i386.deb or agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108.tar.gz 11c1:0620 2.6.31 agrsm06pci-2.1.80_20100106_i386.deb or agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106.tar.gz !! 11c11040 (on HDA audio cards) 2.6.31 agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb or agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225.tar.bz2 !!

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. -------------- end Agere Systems section ------------------- Regards, Antonio On 7/22/10, Glenn Morrissey <gmorrissey@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List > Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
