There is not Motorola support for the Ubuntu kernels. Read InfoGeneral.txt about hardware alternatives. MarvS scanModem maintainer On 1/15/07, Chico <chicomrt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed. If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive Open a terminal and therein: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 After downloading, it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install build-essential will do all the necessary installations mentioned above. In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later: $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc After check with: $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* which should display: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
