scanModem reports that your modem *might be* ^{1} supported through agrsm modem drivers Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 005: Modem chipset detected on SLOT="Bus 005 Device 002:" NAME="Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent) Systems Soft Modem" bus=005 USBmodemID=047e:2892 IDENT=agrsm Driver=agrsm For a detailed USB cellphone usage report, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03240.html For candidate modem in: 005 Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent) Systems Soft Modem Primary device ID: 047e:2892 Support type needed or chipset: agrsm 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: 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 !! All available at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Additionally there are; automation & testing agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb or agrsm-tools-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm 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. No kernel sources/headers are found : /* The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.3 and a compiler is not installed linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! The code linking utility, ld, may be needed and is provided in the binutils package If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.1 make linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-26 may be needed to support driver compiling. */ I would not know which driver to recommend since recommendations have not returned at least a successful report.
