* Hello Agere Driver **
Loading module Agere Modem Controller driver version 2.1.80 (2008-10-31)
ttyAGS3 at I/O 0x400 (irq = 3) is a AgereModem
Loading module Agere Modem Interface driver version 2.1.80.0 (2008-10-31)
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]#
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]# lsmod | grep agr
agrserial 15728 0
agrmodem 1254148 1
snd 51620 14 agrmodem,snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]#
As you may see the Agere modem was loaded and had ttyAGS3 device node.
If agrmodem and agrserial could not loaded for some reason, load manually using :
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]# modprobe agrmodem
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]# modprobe agrserial
[root@localhost agrsm-2.1.80-4klixs2010]# depmod -a
Then, you could query the modem using KPPP or wvdial for sure.
For your information, this agere driver was licensed as ‘proprietary’ on the kernel message, so I have some little worries to put this on axioo ARCD system as a free solution OS.
