DuongBX, Vietnam, kernel 2.6.35-25-generic, Acer 4920, Ubuntu 10.10, agrsm-11c11040, help me to install

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

 



Hi there,

I have Acer 4920 - Ubuntu 10.10 - 2.6.35-25-generic, scanModem told me
I need agrsm-11c11040, did download agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.
deb and agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/, did
install them, but GnomePPP still cannot find modem.
agrsm-test gives me:

 The agrsm drivers not found for boot kernel 2.6.35-25-generic .
 Were they installed for a different kernel version?
 Checking all installed module trees:


    Exiting

As I understood the 2 .deb files I installed from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ only for
kernel version 2.6.31.

What next can I do? I don't want to downgrade my kernel. I don't know
enough to build linux kernel by myself, as they update it every few
day and I cannot repeat and wait few hours to build kernel again and
again.

Thanks in advance.
Duong.

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x11c11040

The softmodem chip 11c11040 is hosted on the Subsytem of the High Definition Audio card,
and is supported by the AgereSystems/LSI driver pair agrmodem + agrserial, which is provided by 
the most current package agrsm-11c11040-version at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ 

If not a Conexant modem, the driver agrsm with its dependent drivers:

----------
provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

Support type needed or chipset:	agrsm


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 -------------------

 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-2.6.35-25-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 linux-headers-2.6.35-25-generic
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35.tar.bz2


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 settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

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 wlan0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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