As I do not have a modem to test with, I hope some users will try this out and report results here. Thank you for any feedback on this.
UPDATE 10/15/2010: Re-uploaded all of the packages. Now they should all work reliably. Note, however, that:
- They require the use of depmod_FULL and that the packages DO NOT run that upon installation.
- The modem fix pack 8 patch 4 should be installed before any of the agrsm packages.
- At least the agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225-k2.6.30.5 package should be installed, because it is the default (most likely needed) variant and is needed for the selection method to work.
- The agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108-k2.6.30.5 package appears to be the same as the original puppy version, so may not be necessary to be installed.
- After all the packages are installed, then run depmod-FULL from a console.
- To be sure the new code takes effect, run pupdial and CHOOSE > ERASE, even if no modem is already detected.
I am posting a special version of the patch in the wary09 thread, so use that with wary, instead of patch-4 here.

Hi Richard
Your concerted efforts to get this working are greatly appreciated.
This my report for my HP550 laptop with the 11c11040 Agere HDA modem.
Started Pup431 with a pristine pupsave file.
Loaded 5 PETS - see the attachment (have I got this right??)
Did depmod-FULL
opened pupdial and issued ERASE
rebooted
Result as before I'm afraid - the modem was not detected, the modules were not loaded.
I now have triple copies of both agrmodem and agrserial in the bootmanager module list - see attachment 2.
As before - I force loaded agrmodem and agrserial, rebooted and the modules were successfully loaded and the modem was then working.
Sorry I'm not able to report any further success - anything I can do to provide you with further diagnostics.
Cheers
Peter
