Re: Afshin, Iran Linux Mint 10 Julia kernel 2.6.35-27-generic

Afshin,

scanModem has reported that your modem is potentially supported
through 11c11040 agrsm package:

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0:

                        The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c11040


Support type needed or chipset:	agrsm


Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

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

   All available at:

Additionally there are;

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 -------------------

It also reports that
/*
 linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
 The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.

*/
which means that you might need to install linux-headers package
matching your kernel.

It would be recommended if you first install dkms package as is
recommended here:
/*
Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides
for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel.  For details see
http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms

*/
then download and install the agrsm- deb packages:
agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb
and
agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb
from the page:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/

Should you install the drivers and get a non-responsive modem, try to
follow the advice given by scanModem:
/*****
For candidate card in slot 00:1b.0, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:1b.0	8086:293e	1025:0205	Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

[   13.586085] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64

 The PCI slot 00:1b.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to [email protected]
 if help is needed.
