Re: LinModem help

Dave,

your modem is supported through agrsm drivers, but as far as using it
for faxing, I am not sure that it works as you would like?

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 04:00.0:
	Modem chipset  detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:0630
SUBSYS=11c1:0630
IRQ=11
HDA2=00:07.0
IDENT=agrsm

 For candidate modem in:  04:00.0
   0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630
      Primary device ID:  11c1:0630
 Support type needed or chipset:	agrsm




 There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the
modem may be
 supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce
x86_64 processors.


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

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

You would download:  2.6.31  agrsm06pci-2.1.80_20100106_i386.deb and
agrsm-tools_0.01_all.deb if your system were 32 bits, but since you
are using 64 bit, it has no chance of working :(

CPU=x86_64,  Ubuntu ,  ALSA_version=1.0.23
 There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the
modem may be
 supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce
x86_64 processors.

Hope this helps in some way.


Regards.

Antonio
