Frank, Please send further cogent emails direct to the List.The following is cogent to your effort. Jose may wish to participate.We don't have any details of the success case on an otherwise UbuntuHardy 2.6.24 system, but booter with the Red Flag kernel, Seehttp://archives.linmodems.org/30178 is a Success report.http://archives.linmodems.org/30207 relates that there is little hopeof support under other kernels, is the email copied below.

For testing, irecompiled 2.6.22 Ubuntu kernel, with SLAB allocator, all it was OK. The agere module loaded successfully (with modprobe forcing options), andit appeared ok (modem detected OK, and devices create OK). But when iconfigure d gnome-ppp, the kernel crashed in SLAB, so this is imposible. So it is necessary to has the modem source and recompile (and to adaptsource code), because in the kernel there are changes in memoryallocation.
