Hi I ran scanModem tool and attached is ModemData.txt output file.
Then I installed dkms, agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb,
agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb & gnome-ppp
After that I tried these commands and I get the error messages shown
below
{{{
#sh
~>:sudo modprobe --force agrmodem
FATAL: Error inserting agrmodem
(/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/extra/agrmodem.ko): Invalid module
format
~>:sudo modprobe --force agrserial
FATAL: Error inserting agrserial
(/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/extra/agrserial.ko): Invalid module
format
}}}
Device /dev/ttyAgr* is never created ... I suppose it's because modules
are not loaded ... I guess .
What should I do ? Help will be appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

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.
