Jeffrey, In the x86_64 bit machine, if you had 32 bit linux installed, it would be a nice opportunity for you to check the modified driver *to see if it would work*, but since it is 64 bit you get the message directly from ModemData.txt 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. * driver http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-11c11040_20110811_i386.deb + new agrsm tools For the other modem, Jonathan at Linuxant has posted ways to circumvent the errors: http://linmodems.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:sss:37710:201108:dpmgnpddbcjlkfmlpmin#b <quote> Hi, this is a known build issue with recent kernels, even with the latest release of the driver. A used provided the following workaround to solve it: --- replace DECLARE_MUTEX with DEFINE_SEMAPHORE in: - /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osnvm.c - /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/GPL/serial_cnxt.c replace .ioctl with .compat_ioctl in: - /usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules/osdiag.c --- This build problem will be fixed in a future release of the driver. Regards, Jonathan Technical specialist / Linuxant www.linuxant.com support@xxxxxxxxxxxx </quote> So you may try the fixes suggested by Jonathan in the meantime. Or you have the option to try the driver 11c11040 but on 32 bit linux. Hopefully you can get one of these modems to work.
