----- Original Message ---- From: Keneth W. Jones <kjones@xxxxxxxxx> To: DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 9, 2007 3:27:20 PM Subject: Ken Jones,USA Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS kernel 2.6.15-28-386 I initially used the slamr-2.6.15-26-386.tgz file to get my SmartLink PCI 56K Modem up in running; prior to updating my Ubuntu version 6.06.1 LTS Linux box that was using Linux kernel 2.6.15-26-386. Unfortunately, one of the security fixes involved updating my Linux kernel from version 2.6.15-26-386 to version 2.6.15-28-386. This in turn caused my modem to quit working. There is a 27 no 28 yet http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/slamr-2.6.15-27-386.tar.gz It may be on its way. I somewhat of a Linux newbie so any assistance you can give me would be greatlt appreciated. Here's an updated ModemData.txt (I believe I am now setup now to compile the modem driver, if necessary): Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.
