Rob,
You have two choices:
1-wait until Marv boards off his flight and can logon.
2-try my educated guess.
To me it is clear that the setup script is incorrect because from your
log the dkpg -i *.deb clearly needs to find in place some *.ko files
which the startup script want to copy to that place after running dkpg!
Indeed that stage of copying the module is not reached at all in your log.
So, my harmless suggestion, if you are impatient, is to REMOVE
the directory slamr-2.6.17-10-generic because if you just untar the
tar.gz file you ADD/REPLACE the contents of that file in the folder,
thus keeping things which may be well be wrong.
The command, to be given while being in folder misc , is
rm -r slamr-2.6.17-10-generic
Next restart from there with tar zxf slamr-2.6.17-10-generic.tar.gz
cd slamr-2.6.17-10-generic.tar
Save in that folder the modified version of setup which I named jgsetup,
attached to this mail.
Apply Marv's instructions except that you type jgsetup where he wrote
setup .
CAVEAT: I am a COMPLETE ignorant in matters of Debian/Ubuntu/KUbuntu
which I have never used (installed KUbuntu to see, in view of success
among users, found nothing better that what I use, dropped it away as I
do not need two ways to do the same thing).

Ok RJ, no problem.
Just, please try to keep the thread in
discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx because
this is where it is archived - unless one of the
persons on the thread
ask you to go off line. Otherwise it is exceedingly
difficult to follow.
I remembered very well your initial call for help
with the Debian kernel
2.4.27.
Then there was this message from Marv possibly
charging the most recent
slmodem driver not to work with 2.4.27, and then the
thread had changed
to 2.6.17.
With an average flux of 20-25 messages daily, this
was too much for my
failing memory.
Now to the point.
Yes just follow what Marv writes, of course.
He has asent you a version of the driver specially
compiled for your new
2.6.17-10 installation.
He has also sent it to me, and I immediately stored
it at the usual
place
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu
Copied again from Marv's mail:
" Under Linux, unpack with

and of course return to us, please to
discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, if you have
any further problem.
In such a mail, please remind to the readers which
steps you have taken
from the beginning, and what went wrong (all details
please). We cannot
remember, nor help without details!
Keep up - Jacques
