Problem with an Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm having problems with the modem above.

I've installed agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108_i386 drivers, since scanmodem 
reports it as 11c1:048c. Installation was good.

I've also installed wvdial and agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all. Installation ok.

Then I run agrsm-test and the result is:

Loading drivers:

Drivers loaded:
agrserial               9449  0 
agrmodem             1183563  1 agrserial

and symbolic link created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2010-12-30 17:04 /dev/ttySAGR -> /dev/ttyAGS3

Checking for utility wvdialconf
Found /usr/bin/wvdialconf, preparing to run:
	wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0   S1   S2   S3   
ttySAGR<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttySAGR<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttySAGR<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

What can I do now? Could you please help me.

Thanks in advance

Ciao

Francesco

 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

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:

   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.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.5
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.5

 linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic


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


Checking pppd properties:

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of a message like:

For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/  get faxing.tar.gz
It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
