Antonio, Make a note that if a System has both a 10b9:5451 Audo (plus potential modem), and also 10b9:5457 Modem the 10b9:5451 most likely is not hosting a modem chip Presently I'll work this instruction into scanModem Dawitt, You need the ungrab-winmodem + slamr driver pair for service under your Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-22-generic. There is a stock of driver installers at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ but one has not been assembled for your particular 2.6.24-22-generic yet. But download the slamr-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz Next download from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic the update kernel 2.6.24-19-generic . Install under Linux with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb Reboot under the new 2.6.24-19-generic kernel $ tar zxf slamr*.tar.gz $ cd slamr-2.6.24-19-generic $ ls Run the $ sudo ./setup Try to find out what the modem country code is for ETHIOPIA. It may be needed for a successful dialout.
