Kaymo, Compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.3 kernel-source-2.6.27.7-9-pae Then for the modem with chipset 11c1:0620 Communication controller: Agere Systems Device For kernels 2.6.26 and later, there best route is to Install the dkms support package provided by your Linux distro. Then from http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/Devel/ get the latest dkms-agrsm*.rpm package. See for an example: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.htm The benefit of the dkms approach is that with future kernel updates, the driver updates will be automatic on your System Write back if problems arise.
