OK I ran scanModem
Here is the Modemdata file.
I changed the PnP status in the bios and then swapped the card with my nic card . No change .
Thanks Allan

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 255
Checking for IRQ 255 sharing with modem.
There is a Bad IRQ=255 . Carefully read the related guidance in Modem/ModemData.txt
The modem will NOT function because of interrupt assignment: IRQ 255
Possible corrections are:
1) to access the the boot up BIOS change to a non-PNP mode.
Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within: Additional Resourcces.
2) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
3) On non-laptop systems moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
4) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.

Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:

debian/ containing some installers
ubuntu/ containing some installers
The ltmodem-8.26b1.tar.gz and ltmodem-8.31b1.tar.gz are driver compiling resources,
with the 8.31 having support for SMP (symmetric multi processor) motherboards.
These packages are more automated versions of the ltmodem-2.6-alk* packages
The ltmodem-2.6-Nalk.src.rpm packages can be used with rpm using Distros.
# rpmbuild --rebuild ltmodem-2.6-Nalk.src.rpm
will deposit an installer at:
/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i686/ltmodem-kv_2.6.13-15-default.rpm Check with
# ls -l /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i686/ltmodem*
Then install with:
# rpm -i /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i686/ltmodem-kv_2.6.13-15-default.rpm
or similar.
The martian.tar.gz represents a new developmental track, meeting emerging kernel requirements.
See for details:

Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc.
Information is at:

1) modems identifiable from their primary PCI IDs and
2) soft modem Subystem chips requiring identification through codec readouts.
Lucent/Agere Mars/WinModem drivers from version 8.30 onwards have
the necessary fix for SMP machines which includes machines with
hyperthreading turned on (virtually acting as two CPUs).

For the SuSE 9.1 release, there is an update improving bootup automation.
A failure had been reported for the 9.3 release ltmodem package,
but the ltmodem-2.6-7-alk-7.tar.bz2 resource gave effective drivers.

There is an active UDEV file system, creating device nodes in volatile RAM.
For SmartLink modems using the slamr.ko or slusb.ko drivers an /etc/init.d/ script
will be necessary to create /dev/slamr0 or /dev/slusb0 ports, or manually by:
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
upon each bootup.

The Major.Minor versions differ in the designated compiler none and the 4.0.2 used in kernel assembly!!"
But there must be a match on the target for driver installation,
of gcc Major.Minor versions or kernel and drivers!!

pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with 2.6.8 kernel releases.
If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being subsequently established,
drop back to a 2.4.1 version. This has worked for PCTEL AMR modem users,

The following packages should be installed to support compiling and modem testing:
make, glibc-devel, gcc-3.3 , libasound2-dev, wvdial and kernel-source-2.6.13-15-default
SuSE 9.0 and later has pre-compiled drivers supporting the following modem chipsets:
Intel HaM and 536ep
Conexant HSF (but not the HCF)
Lucent/AgereSystems ltmodem (Digital Siggnal Processing type)
IBM wmave
Smart Link soft modems
Unfortunately only the Intel HaM and 536ep are on the 3 CD Personal set, pending an update.
Locations on the 6 CD Professional set are:

Some pre-compiled SuSE 9.0 packages for the 2.4.21-99-default kernel are available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/SuSE-9.0/
including AgereSoftModem and the Intel537 modems
IMPORTANT - The kernel-source-144/README.SuSE informs that the pre-assembled kernel-headers installed
from the 9.0 kernel-source-99 have some flaws. Upgrading to a later kernel, such as 2.4.21-144 with matching kernel-source is the simplest may of avoiding problems.
SuSE 9.1 comes with a SmartLink slamr.ko driver installed,
aiding identification of softmodem codecs by:
dmesg | grep slamr
For the 9.1 Personal (single CD installation) winmodem packages
have be downloaded from the SuSE 9.1 repository
Should compiling drivers may be necessary, the following additional packages
will have to be downloaded and installed:
make, glibc-devel, gcc-3.3.3 and kernel-source.
The kernel-headers are co-installed with the kernel-source.
Thus subsequent driver compiling does Not require additional preparations.
