James There are currently no Agere/LSI drivers serving with x86_64 processor kernels, because of a pre-compiled 32 bit component. Shortly you choose to switch to an i386 installation instead, there will only be a small performance penalty, and the modem software below will likely serve For 11c1:0620 chipset --- agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106.tar.gz All available at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Additionally there are; automation & testing -- agrsm-tools-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm agrsm_howto.txt MarvS On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 6:43 PM, James Carney <j.r.carney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List > Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
