Manuel It is good news that under Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-9-generic your 11c11040 chip modem is functional. Do read the PostInstall Howto at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il mostly about tuning parameters in /etc/ppp/option To automate , use $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/agrsm to create a file with two lines.
