Re: > "Please note that this version of the driver is intended to work Red > Flag NE 5.0 having Linux kernel version 2.6.21.0-22" That was the first agrsm release having support for the 11c1040 chipset. But since then a few with expertise (I lack) in COMM code have been able to update the Open Source sections of the code package. So currently with various degrees of effort required, those most diligent have been to achieve 11c11040 modem service into the 2.6.27 kernel releases. Should you wish to drop back to kernel version 2.6.21.0-22, you can install the package linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb , also at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ This is a package I converted from the original Red Flag NE 5.0, which does include the agrmodem.ko + agrserial.ko pair. My otherwise Ubuntu laptop installation was well supported by that package, through it doesn't have the 1c111040 chipset. Until you update to Ubuntu Intrepid, this might be your easiest access when traveling. However travel usage, I would recommend buying a USB or PCMCIA wireless card. Most motels now have free wireless access. The wireless hardware is cheap enough now. At least under Interpid, configuration is typically complete automatic. I am thus online at the moment.
