Anders, The modem is an 11c11040 agrsm one which is not supported under 64 bit linux :: ``There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the modem may be supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly serve x86_64 processors.'' :: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:14.2: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=1002:4383 SUBSYS=1179:ff1e IRQ=16 HDA2=00:14.2 SOFT=1002:4383.HDA HDAchipVendorID=11c1 CHIP=0x11c11040 IDENT=agrsm Driver=agrsm package=agrsm-11c11040 For candidate modem in: 00:14.2 0403 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia Primary device ID: 1002:4383 Subsystem PCI_id 1179:ff1e Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 0x11c11040 from Archives: The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c11040 Support type needed or chipset: agrsm There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the modem may be supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce x86_64 processors. 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: Chipsets KV* PackageNames (most current as of November 2009) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f 2.6.29 agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108_i386.deb or agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108.tar.gz 11c1:0620 2.6.31 agrsm06pci-2.1.80_20100106_i386.deb or agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106.tar.gz !! 11c11040 (on HDA audio cards) 2.6.31 agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb or agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225.tar.bz2 !!

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 ------------------- Regards, Antonio On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 6:26 PM, Anders Mason <anders.mason@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >
