Louis,
RE: why must Linux devices always be such a mission to get working?
The primary problem is that the Smartlink modem sector has been sold
to Conexant, and they are not doing updates. In particular, the
modem_main.o was never compiled for the x86_64 architecture. So your
only hope is to use the modem in i386 architecture emulation mode.
Devinder,
Follow this discussion line. It is entirely parallel to the problem
you are having with slamr.ko on your x86_64 system
