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 ------------------- Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0: Modem chipset not detected on NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=8086:27d8 SUBSYS=103c:30ac IRQ=45 For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0 0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller Primary device ID: 8086:27d8 Support type needed or chipset: Completed candidate modem analyses.

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: linux-headers-2.6.35-25-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.
