Safety, For 11c1:044e Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem martian-full-20080625.tar.gz from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ is the modem code package you will need. Also get the MarsTest.txt, though it needs and update in some details. But before using it, the Ubuntu linux-libc-dev libc6-dev packages must be installed, for additional compiling support. Put the Ubuntu Hardy install CD in place and: $ sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev libc6-dev If the packages are not on the install CD, Start at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ Search for libc6-dev in the Hardy release You need to download the packages for linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev Both can be co-installed with $ sudo dpkg -i li*.deb Now you can start working with the martian package. Unpack it with: $ tar zxf martian*.tar.gz Move into the new folder: $ cd martian-full-20080625 Look around $ ls $ make if successful will will assembly a driver martian_dev.ko and martian_modem, a smart manager. Install them with: $ sudo make install. At this stage, you can $ martian_modem --help Reboot and rerun $ ./scanModem There is an outstanding problem that > The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 .

If not, we will provide additional guidance then. This stuff is only arcane the 1st time through. Keep the faith!
