There is no point in trying make install and further when make all has failed.
The problem with make all is probably caused by different Ubuntu versions.
Marv knows Ubuntu and will address your problem.
I know nothing about Ubuntu and similar (Debian) Linux distributions.
The only way by which I could help you would be if you could type the two following commands EXACTLY as shown and send me the file jacques.txt which they will produce. Thanks - Jacques:

ls /lib/modules/*/  >  jacques.txt
uname -a >> jacques.txt

Jacques, Many Thanks for your support I'm getting closer but still having some troubles (due most probably to my not very advanced Linux experience). I did the steps you indicated but when I run the INSTALL procedure step by steps it seems that I'm having some troubles executing some of the commands (I've also tried with "sudo" but seems not to help to much).

Below a dump of the commands and results I would very much appreciate if you could further help and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Again thanks in advance very much for your help.

so you go to
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
You download the file martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz
You unpack it with the command:
tar zxf martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz
You enter the software for the driver with
cd martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic
There, you read the file named INSTALL and you do step by step what it says (IGNORE x86_64 platform). The "root" directory wuioted there is NOT the /root (note the /) directory of user "root" but the directory martian-ubuntu-2.6.20-16-generic

Your dreams are shared and will remain dreams. We are a handful of volunteers unable to create a "dream" installer for each of so many modems under so many versions of Linux. In addition, you will see that when your modem will work, you will already have learnt a lot about using Linux, specially command lines.

Hi Linux/Ubuntu Friends

Hi just installed for the first time the ubuntu version on a Compaq Evo N610c / 256k RAM and now almost everything works fine but as I need to use very often a modem connection (modem already integrated in the Notebook) and I need now your help to get it possibly configured and recognized by ubuntu.

Now, I’m not a very technical person and I must admit that it was already quite difficult for me to find out the Modem chipset following a procedure I fould on (http://help.ubuntu-it.org/7.04/ubuntu/internet/it/connect-to-internet.html)and frankly speaking I’m quite confuse now when I read what I need to do next (root?, Compiling?,..).

Could some one help me and tell what I really need to do next? My dream as I really don’t know nothing about linux and compilers would be to download a self extracting application that would recognize and configure my modems, but well if this is only a dream then I would really need a step by step procedure (possibly written for non technical/linux person) so that I can hopefully really follow.

Many thanks for your great support!!! :-)

-------------- end Agere Systems section -------------------

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
  make utility - /usr/bin/make
  Compiler version 4.1
  linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build

However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in  /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu,  linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package
libc6 are commonly installed by default.


If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example. Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be
found through http://packages.ubuntu.com

For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install
CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
