------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Ubuntu 6.10
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic
The kernel-2.6.17-10-generic was compiled with CONFIG_REGPARM, providing
more compact and faster code.
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 4.1.2
with current System compiler GCC=4.1.2
/usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.1
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
kernel-headers have base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build
kernel-headers have base folder /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.
Checking for USB modems
None found

There is also available a Legacy driver - SM56_5.1_I386.rpm for 2.4.n
kernels ONLY
for which the advice at http://www.sm56.tk/ may be effective.

Achieving function with these drivers is often difficult.
If you computer alternatively boots Linux and Microsoft OS,
do a complete PowerOff before starting Linux.
Otherwise there may be an error during following Motorola usage:
SM_DisplayFatalErr
Some guidance for particular cases is:

There is a volunteer Motorola site: http://www.sm56.tk/
The installation creates a driver sm56.o , the character devices
/dev/motomem
/dev/sm56
with symbolic link /dev/modem --> /dev/sm56
the /etc/modules.conf lines:
alias char-major-24 sm56
options sm56 country=1
and documentation in usr/share/doc/HTML/en/sm56/ and "man sm56"
An additional line in /etc/modules.conf
alias /dev/modem /dev/sm56
would beneficially aid driver autoloading, without which there may be a
failure of the wvdial functionality test:
# /etc/wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
