Antonio,

Please manage this case.  This Motorala chipset is slamr supported.

Umutay,
   Follow:
compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz
