Hi there.
My modem is a Motorola SM56 data+fax modem and I'm running Ubuntu Feisty.
I'm having trouble figuring out what to do next. I tried following the
instructions regarding the compiling of drivers, but that ended badly. I
think the files I used were for a much older kernel or for the wrong
chipset. The links to Motorola sites on Linmodem go to pages which only have
windows drivers. On the Linmodem packages site, where the old motorola .rpm
packages are, I read that kernel 2.6 packages were available, but I couldn't
find them. I've read about using alien to convert the old .rpm's to .deb but
I get the feeling that it won't work with the old kernel.
I'm fairly new at this and really need help.
Thank you
David Dallas
