Roger,
scanModem reports that your modem is potentially supported by
agrsm-11c11040 modem driver. However there have been no success
reports lately with newer kernels.
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0:

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 -------------------
You are welcome to download and try the drivers out
Download:
agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb and agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb
All available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
and install with
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Then read up on README/INSTALL for options on FAXING. If this fails,
then try to virtualize XP/MS windows on your machine.

Antonio
