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

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.
