It should work also. What I did was a module, a ready made executable that if you were to run Slax Linux Live 6.1.1 and run # activate agrsm-2.1.80-7mdv2009.0.lzm it should setup everything automatically, all that you should have to do is setup wvdial to use /dev/modem and/or KPPP to dialout. IT would be AWESOME if users out that have this modem can test out this lzm to see if it really works or not so that I can fix it. There should be no problems with PCLinuxOS2009 as it should also work there. Slax is a LiveCD which you do not have to install and the package should run on either OS, I just wanted to see if people out there could test the module. > 3) As near as I can tell, I have dkms installed, so do I need to run > ./setup? No, if you have dkms installed you can use dkms to install the package.
