Shanie Since you have them both packages, insert your usb disk in the computer that needs the drivers. It should automount. Copy the *.deb packages to your home directory and then you can install them with $ sudo dpkg libc6?.deb and $ sudo dpkg linux-libc Then extract the martian-20080625.tar.gz file and try the commands again: $ tar -zxvf martian-20080625.tar.gz $ cd martian-20080625/ $ make all $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem open another tab or terminal, and do $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem port /dev/ttySM0 and then edit /etc/wvdial.conf with you favorite editor, gedit, kedit, vi, ..., etc and add your username, password, phone number to dialout, and add a line "Carrier Check = no". Hope that this succeeds. Regards, Antonio On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:42 PM, shanie mahepath <shaniemahepath@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Antonio, > How are you doing today? Ok. I have linux-libc and libc6.
