Ken, RE: In function 'open', inlined from 'datafile_save_info' at modem_datafile.c:114: /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to '__open_missing_mode' declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments ----------------- This is an outstanding problem under kernel 2.6.27-7-generic , which I have previously reported. We are still seeking a fix to this compile problem. However a work around which you could test is possible. I am traveling now however without much time online. Stay tuned, I'll send you a test resource kit in a few days. The Smartlink hardware has been quite reliabe under earlier kernels. So likely we can work this through. Stay tuned.
