I have been trying on and off for about 2 years now (with my previous and current HP laptops) to build the agrsm kernel modules for an agere softmodem. I tried several versions along the way, figuring that our kernels where always too recent for a succesful build, but now I'm not so sure anymore. A colleague just got his working in Ubuntu 11.04 (I think) so I just tried again with the agrsm-2.1.80-4mdv2009.0 source code. It still won't build, so I decided to finally post the results here for your opinions:

Code:
vectornote:/~/softlib/hardware/agere/agrsm-2.1.80-4mdv2009.0
joe1962:$ make module

P.S.: I'm pretty tired of having to switch to winders at home to use the dialup... Angry

Can you post a download link for the source. I tried googling but couldn't find it.

I even built dkms to try the dkms-agrsm versions, but no go... Sad

I had to make a patch for it to work.
I have uploaded it to the repo here: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-7.0/kernels/drivers/agrsm/

Thanks, uelsk8s! Off to download and test...  Smiley


EDIT: doh!!! I built it for my current kernel, which is slightly behind yours, and the modules even load ok, but any attempt to use /dev/ttyAGS3 results in a kernel dump and machine lock up... Sad
