Ernie, Word of Advice, for kernels >= 2.6.25, the slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz does not work. First look in Ubuntu/ directory for a precompiled driver that matches your kernel 2.6.27-7-generic: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ It does not exist, so you proceed to get the latest slmodem-2.9.11-200ABBCC.tar.gz Get the latest one available http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20080817.tar.gz attempt to compile again, if for any reason it fails to compile, let us know and report back. There's a possibility that the precompiled one might also come in soon.
