Download slamr-2.6.20-15-generic.tar.gz from
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.20-15-generic
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$ sudo ./setup
Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME
therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:

The base of the UDEV device file system is:

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:

Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-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 fails, with message including
some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example),
then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation
to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are
libc6-dev
