Alex,
This is hard to figure out. slmodemd uses alsa drivers and the modem
itself is supported through agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb package +
agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb which I suppose you installed. However,
the
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m snd_hda_intel
are messing with the following ones:
agrmodem agrserial
which are needed to make the modem work. slmodem-daemon should not be
running, the above modem drivers are conflicting ( snd_atiixp_modem
snd_via82xx_modem), maybe they need to be blacklisted so that you can
connect for your newer kernels:
/lib/modules/2.6.35-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
unless the 11c11040 modem does not work there?
relevant parts of scanModem follow:

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:

* 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.
-------------- end Agere Systems section -------------------
Hope you can find a way to blacklist the modem drivers that are
interfering with agr + agr serial kernel modules to make the modem
work. I don't know how to advise you.
Regards,
Antonio
