YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance.
Your contry's local Linux experts
can be found through:

They will know your Country's modem code, which may
be essential for dialup service.

a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem
drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt
about possible fixes.

Support type needed or chipset: slamr
----------------end Softmodem section --------------
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
Download slamr-2.6.22-14-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-2.6.22-14-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:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in
the automated:
slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler
installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel
assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-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
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu
linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the
following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through
http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux
partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
