Dave,
The first thing to check is that you have not fallen into the well known
trap that wvdialconf searches for entries like
/dev/ttyS* where the * may be anything while the Agere-oriented drivers
create "ports" such as /dev/ttyAGS* where * is a number (most often AGS3)
The command sudo ls /dev/ttyAG* will show you which you have.
Then a command sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGS3 for example
will redirect wvdialconf to ttySAGS3 and thus make the modem visible
to sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
I am not an expert with Agere drivers but the trap and the cure are
documented in the installation instructions within the packages.

Thanks Marvin, I very much appreciate your effort in updating the tar
ball.
Now the drivers are compiled and installed. However I've hit another
issue. I followed the instructions through to the first test using
wvdialconf. That was it, it couldn't find my modem. I tried adding the
"PCI=noacpi" into the grub file. The result was the system hung while
booting up and I had to use recovery mode. I then changed the PCI slot
the modem was in. This was unsuccessful also.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks again
Dave

Dave,
The ‘struct uart_info’ error has been encoiubtered i other code
packages. The fix is to make a change like
struct tty_struct *tty =p->port.info->port.tty;
from an original like:
struct tty_struct *tty =p->port.info->tty;
But I'm not under linux now and cannot check in detail.
Maybe this PM. But you can search out the lines like above and test yourself.

Hi, can any one that has installed the drivers for a:-

please tell me what I need to do to so that the "make" instruction
compiles the code without error
