CPU=x86_64, CentOS
Kernel , ALSA_version=1.0.14
Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version
4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:51:06 EDT 2008

/etc/lsb-release not found
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
Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem
controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd
helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit
component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are
x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on
x86_64 systems.
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_hda_intel

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:

* 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.

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
