I unpack suse-10-2a.tar.gz and I use the command: make Run "make install" to install Agere Systems Soft Modem on your system. Run "make uninstall" to remove a previously installed modem. So I use: sudo make install And I get: Installing Agere Soft Modem driver version 2.1.73 some files needed for installation are missing So I unpack the file agrsm-20070804.tar.gz and I replace the file agrmodemlib.o to agrmodemlib.o from suse-10-2a.tar.gz I use make and make install. Ok. But I use sudo modprobe agrmodem and I get: WARNING: Error inserting agrmodem (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/extra/agrmodem.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting agrserial (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/extra/agrserial.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) My dmesg (dmesg | grep agr) hugleo@hugleo-desktop:~/Desktop/suse-10-2a$ dmesg | grep agr [ 401.169197] agrmodem: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
