By the way, if you're interested in learning how to compile it yourself, it's very easy. Here's in a nutshell what to do : Install the tools required for compiling : $ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) Grab and extract the source. For clarity, we'll put all of it in a slamr subdir of our home dir : $ mkdir ~/slamr $ cd slamr $ wget http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz $ wget http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20070505.tar.gz $ tar xzvf ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz $ tar xzvf slmodem-2.9.11-20070505.tar.gz Note that the two wget comands are supposed to be on one line ! Then, we build the modules. First, ungrab-winmodem : $ cd ungrab-winmodem $ make The ungrab-winmodem.ko file will be created in the current directory. Then, we build slamr and slusb : $ cd ../slmodem-2.9.11-20070505 $ make The slamr.ko and slusb.ko files will be created in the drivers directory. Voilà :) You have your three modules compiled for your new kernel. If you wish, you can re-use the installation script provided in the archives : $ cd ~/slamr $ wget http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/slamr-2.6.15-27-386.tar.gz $ tar xzvf slamr-2.6.15-27-386.tar.gz $ cp ungrab-winmodem/*.ko slmodem-2.9.11-20070505/drivers/*.ko \ > slamr-2.6.15-27-386 $ cd slamr-2.6.15-27-386 $ sudo ./setup Also, if you wish to rebuild the modem for yet another new kernel, you obviously don't need to redownload the source, just don't forget to run "make clean" before each "make" to avoid problems.
