Peter, since your computer has an x86_64 system, probably your best bet is to get the tar version since the driver for your system does not appear to exist CPU=x86_64, Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.68.00.14x86_64full/hsfmodem-7.68.00.14x86_64full.tar.gz Please try the above one, and when you run $ make install, run $ sudo make install instead. A message also appears on the linuxant site: Note to Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) users with HDA modems: Installing the alsa-driver-linuxant package is necessary before installing this driver. http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.18git20080915-1_all.deb Try to get the above packages and install the alsa-driver first. Then try to compile the hsfmodem driver on above link.
