Re: SAI RAM, INDIA, UBUNTU kernel 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic

Sai,

For candidate modem in:  0000:00:09.0
  0703 Modem: PCTel Inc HSP56 MicroModem
      Primary device ID:  134d:2189
Support type needed or chipset:     slamr
-------------
However this driver cannot be compiled for function with x86_64 processor.
If you should do a 32bit emulation installation, it could be supported.

Read InfoGeneral about other modem alternatives.
