I’ve build a new 2.6.32.12 for klixs and the old agere softmodem cannot compile completely.
Here is the new steps to make it work under 2.6.32 and 2.6.33 on klixs :
Get the source from here or here and extract them to some location.
Go into the folder and run make :
[root@localhost agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32.12-jf2.bfs/build M=/usr/src/agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225 modules

Done.
Create the agere modem dialer using KPPP and point to default /dev/modem and query them before dialing. You should see something like this :
Fill it in the internet provider account data and they should connected without problem :
Have fun and good luck. 😀
This is 2010 and people keep demanding a dial up modem drivers for connecting to the internet ? arrrggghhh!@#@!#
