Hello Tried the hsfmodem, doesnt find it. Agere/Lucent linmodems.org link defunct 404, picture of chestnuts on this site entrance, no pages. LSI site, nothing. Google nothing. No Linux Internet (no apt-get etc). LSI/agere Sv92U2C chipset. Not fluent in linux commands. Help!

Cases are: 1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers. In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component. 2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component 3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent. 4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems.

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 ------------------- Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:14.2: Modem chipset not detected on NAME="Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=1002:4383 SUBSYS=1179:ff00 IRQ=16 HDA2=00:14.2 SOFT=1002:4383.HDA For candidate modem in: 00:14.2 0403 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia Primary device ID: 1002:4383 Subsystem PCI_id 1179:ff00 Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: from Archives: Support type needed or chipset: Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives: 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems. 2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.

For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. Compressed files at: /usr/src/vpb-driver.tar.bz2 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.
