Dear Ralphi, To the best of my knowledge, you have not made mistakes. You are trying hard to see if you can get the drivers working for a modem which has had no success reports. At one point one of the drivers listed in ModemData.txt was tried to see if support could be generated for it, but it did not succeed. Output of ModemData.txt relevant in this USB modem: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 001: Modem chipset detected on SLOT="Bus 001 Device 006:" NAME="Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent) Systems Soft Modem" bus=001 USBmodemID=047e:2892 IDENT=agrsm Driver=agrsm For a detailed USB cellphone usage report, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03240.html For candidate modem in: 001 Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent) Systems Soft Modem Primary device ID: 047e:2892 Support type needed or chipset: agrsm 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 !! All available at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Additionally there are; automation & testing agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb or agrsm-tools-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm General background agrsm_howto.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * 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 ------------------- There are some usb modems which may work with native linux drivers which hopefully you can find. I hope Marv can advice you if there is any driver out there which you can try, but I suspect there is none that has been successful :( Best Regards, Antonio On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 6:34 PM, ralphi <ralphi4211@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Antonio, > Thank’s for Your answer.
