First accessing chipset provider and modem assembler information for the modem SubSystem under the AC'97 or MC97 Controller. === Checking 1734 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ==== Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, the 537 soft modem and AC'97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem subSystems. These subSystems will in have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, not Intel. Download available drivers from: http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm Also check at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html for early releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions The Intel 537 chipsets are sold to a variety of modem assemblers. Intel support at: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=1230&DwnldID=6801. The soft modem serving under the controller: PCI_ID=10b9:5457, may be supported by the SmartLink slmodem-2.9.n drivers. See the related support table listing in ModemData.txt.2 Vendor 163c is SmartLink, http://www.smlink.com/ with EXCELLENT Linux support! Downloads from ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/ with some backups at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ The slmodem-2.9.n drivers support several non-SmartLink soft modem chipsets under AC'97 Controllers. The slmodem series is compatible with 2.6.nn Linux kernels If there should be mis-dialing problems either use slmdm-2.7.10 or upgrade to a 2.6.nn kernel. The modem port is /dev/ttySL0 Please see the support compatibility table within ModemData.txt.2 The controllers with an in line + are compatible. There may be a warning about a not-SmartLink modem as the drivers load. But just proceed with modem functionality tests as described at the end of ModemData.txt.2 === Checking 10b9 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ==== Vendors 10b9 is Acer Labs, producing ASUS highly integrated motherboards and Ali components. The tight integration unfortunately ofter blocks identification of the modem chipset. Desired information may be gained by using a COMM console under MS Windows, and using ATI commands to elicit chipset and driver information. Among the AMR modems, there are the following reports/information on Linux support: Devices 5450 and 5451 have Agere Systems soft modem chipsets which are not yet supported. Devices 5457 and 5459 have Agere Systems soft modem chipsets. supported by SmartLink slmodem-2.9.n driver.
