Re: is my modem linux compatable-part2?

Joe,

I would like to recommend the following:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/slamr-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz
but that is for 2.6.24-19-generic kernel, and you are running kernel
2.6.24-21-generic

Has someone built the slamr driver for this kernel kernel 2.6.24-21-generic?

This way it can be uploaded to
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/

so that Joe and other Ubuntu users can use it.  Other users have
looked for it and not find it
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3098510.0

Regards,

Antonio
