Hello, Please help me installing agrsm drivers for that USB modem.

It provides for automated driver updates, following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are: Attached USB devices are: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.

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 ------------------- A UDEV device file system is not active. The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.8.3 and a compiler is not installed linux-headers-4.1.6-v7+ resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.8 kernel-source-4.1.6-v7+ Compressed files at: /usr/src/mpg123-1.21.0.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.
