Hello good people,
i have some problems with modem, i wona try to use it for reciving fax
and i dont know how to set up
i have modem: LiteOn D-1156!#/A1A Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem
as i read in modemdata.txt i download from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108_i386.deb and install it
but when i install that i dont know how to continue, if i set in efax
serial device empty efax sad /dev/modem does not exist
no valid serial device exist
and here i stop, cos i think my modem isnt set up....
if you need some more information, please tell me and,
regards, Miran

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.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.4
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.4
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-28-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
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 display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
