Hi guys and Marv,  i  did  what you told me  but i  got  errors, so i decided to reformat my computer and install Ubuntu 8.04.1 which has that kernel.
I also got errors with the new installation! I attached everything i did inside the terminal with the errors i got.
what should i do?

Regards.

Rocky,

It is not apparent what problem caused the failure.
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
