ltmodem en Sarge AMD64
Hola, Lista! Tengo una PC HP Pavilion, con un micro
Athlon de 64 bits, a 2 GHz. Conseguí un par de CDs de
Sarge AMD64 y lo instalé; tuve algunas dificultades
(pequeñas) pero puedo decir que ahora funciona todo
satisfactoriamente bien, excepto el winmodem... Los
muchachos de HP se quedaron sin presupuesto y en lugar
de colocarle un MODEM le colocaron un "Lucent
Microelectronics V.92 56K Winmodem" En
www.linmodems.org hay documentación y links para
descargar el driver para este aparatito; el driver más
nuevo es el ltmodem-8.31b1 y está compilado para
Debian (para varios kernels), además de los fuentes.
Yo tengo instalado el kernel por defecto
(2.6.8-11-amd64-k8) e instalé también el
correspondiente kernel-headers; los archivos *.deb del
driver no se instalan porque están compilados para
i386 (aptitude los rechaza y listo!) y cuando intento
compilar el driver desde el paquete fuente, el proceso
de compilación se aborta con un error que no entiendo
claramente, pero hace referencia a que el driver está
pensado para i386 y no para amd64. Adjunto a este
correo un archivo con la salida del comando
directoriodelsourcedelmodem# ./build_module
al final del mismo se observa el mensaje de error.
¿Qué significa? ¿Alguien logró hacer funcionar un
ltmodem sobre Sarge AMD64? ¿Dónde consiguió el driver?
Pido disculpas por ser tan extenso; antes de recurrir
a la lista quise agotar todas las instancias previas,
pero no tuve éxito :-(
Vale aclarar que en mi PC "vieja" (un K6-2 a 500 MHz)
también tengo un ltmodem y lo he hecho funcionar en
Woody primero y en Sarge después; he instalado
binarios (para Woody) y he compilado varias veces el
driver (tantas veces como kernels he ido cambiando) y
nunca tuve problemas. Incluso con el kernel actual
(2.6.8) pude instalarlo "construyendo" el driver como
un .deb e instalándolo con dpkg; y siempre, en todos
los casos, he usado los mismos fuentes para el modem.
Por lo que leí, el problema es que la arquitectura
AMD64 aún no está completamente soportada ¿Es así? Una
solución a mi problema sería instalar Sarge para i386,
pero en realidad no soluciono el problema, sólo cambio
las condiciones para que el problema no se manifieste
(y en ese caso, ¿para qué tengo un micro a 64 bits si
no lo puedo usar intensivamente?)
En fin, agradezco alguna pista, saludos desde
Argentina:
Daniel
In an open world, Who needs Windows or Gates?
Yo uso Debian GNU/Linux Sarge!

Lucent/Agere_Systems(AS) DSP chip modems (but Not the AMR or soft PCI chipsets)
are supported by the the resources of this kit.
AS maintainer S. Sarkar develops the code on a Red Hat Linux test bed.
The lt_serial.o Serial Interface module comes under GPL and is Open Source.
The lt_modem.o code is entirely proprietary, though partially Open Source.
Adaptation to ongoing changes in Linux source code is enabled by the Open Source components.
Critical AS proprietary information is pre-complied in ltmdmobj.o,
whose constituents are functionally not affected by minor Linux source code changes.
Volunteer maintainers periodically receive code updates from AS.
Through the contributions of Many described in CREDITS, there are
enhancements in utility, ease of installation and documentation.
Mark Spieth initiated this ltmodem compiler kit series.
Chris Hebeisen introduced the Configure implementation, bringing Newbie friendliness.
Marv Stodolsky is culpable for the verbose messaging.
Within DOCs/, Ltmodem.html has URLs to many particular usage cases.
Volunteers assemble the ltmodem-version.deb and
ltmodem-version.rpm Installers for the User Community as Linux source code evolves
utiliizing the resources of this compiler kit series.
If new to compiling, read the ModemCompiling.txt which is being output, to guide
proper set up your kernel-sources. The kernel-source package as installed does
NOT in general match an installed kernel, but one of several alternative kernels.
Thus with a niave usage, all could be completed well technically.
BUT the installed drivers might not be compatible with your kernel,
of even reside in the needed /lib/modules/Kernel_Version/ tree.
To continue, Enter
This compilation process is likely Not necessary to work through,
if the only need is modem drivers matching the standard kernel of the
following Linux distributions: Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE and Connectiva
Volunteers have already compiled most standard drivers. For more current releases,
those available compatible with your System requirements will be later listed.
They are available for download as ltmodem-version.rpm and
ltmodem-version.deb Installers from a repository, http://ltmodem.heby.de
If your System can use one of these Installers, you will be informed below.
Many installers for older kernels are available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages.html
The compiling process is a learning experience for Newbies.
We strongly recommend that you DO learn it sometime.
But getting on the Internet under Linux should have first priority.
This kit provides several diagnostics aids and good documentation.
Continuing will do no harm. Useful diagnostic information
on your system will be written to BLDrecord.txt,
with direction to documentation if a failure occurs.
At a minimum, Do keep the DOCs/ and utils/ folders and become familiar
with the resources therein.
To continue: Enter
=================================================================
This is the version 8.31a10 of the compiler + installer kit
8.31 corresponds to the version of the core Agere Systems DSP code.
a10 designation that follows reflects NO improvement in DSP code.
Rather peripheral driver, added diagnostics and installer improvements
are reflected. They are progressively implemented as Users report problems
or the Linux kernel evolves.
The modem drivers will serve with Linux kernels beginning with 2.2.2, the current
2.4.nn series, and the 2.5.nn development kernels.
However support was broken in the early 2.4.n-test series.
When there is a Red Hat 2.6.nn release, AS will then update the code
If your PC is being well served with this 8.31a10,
there is NO Benefit in using a more recent version
until there is an update in the Agere driver code, say 8.26 to 9.00.
But if the driver installation for a new kernel should in some way fail,
please do download the most recent ltmodem-VER.tar.gz
before sending a query to discuss@linmodems.org,
because the problem may already be solved.
This build_module script only compiles drivers,
with their installation managed by subsequent commands.
Thus ./build_module can be rerun for education or amusement,
without as yet committing changes to your System.
For general instructions: Enter
=================================================================
All should work automatically for most Linux installations/distributions,
IF a complete kernel-headers/ folder is available:
through a symbolic link: /lib/modules/KernelVersion/build --> PATH_to/kernel-headers/
at the classical /usr/src/ position.
Otherwise a symbolic link will be necessary:
ln -s PATH_to/kernel-headers/ /usr/src/linux
Read ModemDriverCompiling.txt if an explanation is needed about kernel-headers.
To compile modules for a kernel other version than 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8, such as version 2.2.17-3test, use syntax:
./build_module 2.2.17-3test
where the version.h in the kernel-headers/ folder has 2.2.17-3test
If desirable to make a record for trouble shooting purposes,
Abort with Ctrl-C. Then the process can be recorded to ltrecord.txt :
./build_module | tee ltrecord.txt
To continue: Enter
====================================================================
Diagnostic information is progressively being written to BLDrecord.txt .
Often, contents of BLDrecord.txt will aid in solving a problem.
The Linux distribution is: debian, 3.1
