Kaymo, This route is easier: ---- 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 > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/HOWTO-Agere-11c11040-HDA.html is only necessary for older kernels. Please send to the List not me directly, as others are more expert on this modem type. MarvS On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 5:21 PM, <kaymo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi MarvS, > > Slow down!!!
