Devon, There is a precompiled driver that matches your running kernel: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz Do download it, extract it with $ tar -zxvf agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz $ cd agrsm-* $ sudo ./setup then separately run $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf when you open another terminal/tab. Report back presently.
