Let we suggest a simple by pass instead. >From http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ download the agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz A server http://packages.ubuntu.com/ seems to be done now, but should be up again soon. Thereat search for linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic and download the linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_SomeVersionInfo.deb Copy both packages to your Linux partition, say using a USB stick, First do $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb Then reboot using the new 2.6.24-19-generic kernel choice. Then unpack: $ tar zxf agrsm*.tar.gz Move into the new folder: $ cd agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic and run the $ sudo ./setup which will install the drivers Follow through with the output directions MarvS On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 3:48 AM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Rocky, > > Your modem is supported/should be supported by agrsm-20080203.tar.gz > > From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ download agrsm-20080203.tar.gz > The suse-10-2a.tar.gz thereat has newer Agere/LSI code, > but there are compiling problems with newer kernels > Read DOCs/Agrsm.txt > > You have done this already > > <quote from your terminal> > > rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~$ cd agrsm > rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~/agrsm$ make > make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/rockyrock/agrsm modules > make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic' > CC [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.o > CC [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/lib.o > CC [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.o > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c: In function 'serial8250_get_mctrl': > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c:1371: warning: unused variable 'flags' > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c: In function 'serial8250_config_port': > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c:2039: warning: unused variable 'ret' > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c: At top level: > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c:2131: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c:2132: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type > /home/rockyrock/agrsm/serial26.c:1922: warning: 'serial8250_request_rsa_resource' defined but not used > LD [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrmodem.o > LD [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrserial.o > Building modules, stage 2. > MODPOST 2 modules > WARNING: could not find /home/rockyrock/agrsm/.agrsm_core.o.cmd for /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrsm_core.o > CC /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrmodem.mod.o > LD [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrmodem.ko > CC /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrserial.mod.o > LD [M] /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrserial.ko > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic' > rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~/agrsm$ sudo make install > make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build M="/home/rockyrock/agrsm" modules_install > make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic' > INSTALL /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrmodem.ko > INSTALL /home/rockyrock/agrsm/agrserial.ko > DEPMOD 2.6.24.3 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic' > if ! /sbin/modprobe -nq agrmodem.ko ; then /sbin/depmod -a; fi > rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~/agrsm$ sudo modprobe agrmodem > FATAL: Module agrmodem not found. > rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~/agrsm$ > > </quote from termian> > > Please read this file carefully: > > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm_howto.txt > > I will tell you why it failed, take a look here: > > DEPMOD 2.6.24.3 > > it should be the same as your running kernel.
