Hi, The code from agrsm-20070804.tar.gz shows no errors when I compile (I compiled with "make" and "make module" on different attempts after cleaning up). The modules load. I used the patch submitted by Brad. But nothing created a /dev/ttyWhatever that wvdialconf could find. I haven't tried adding "apci=noapci" (whatever it was) to grub.conf. Thanks, Stephen -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- CPU=i686, Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) Kernel Linux version 2.6.22.9-61.fc6 (brewbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 18:48:03 EDT 2007 scanModem update of: 20071019 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) spackage providing audio support on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. For modems using the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are sometimes necessary to achieve function.

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/2.6.22.9-61.fc6/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.
