One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Thereat get the agrsm_howto.txt and one of the agrsm-tools packages. The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs: 11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package. The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent. Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades. Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.26.28 and later kernels. A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier kernels. For example, for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier 2.26.27 series Intrepid kernels can be installed. Search for them at: http://packages.ubuntu.com The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type installers (supporting Ubuntu too) are copied to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ . Thereat the current package is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted on High Definition Audio cards. Read the Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details. -------------- end Agere Systems section ------------------- Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.3 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . 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. 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. For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 277352 2009-02-20 18:25 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
