Chris, You have the wrong driver. You may run dmesg and see that the driver might be initialized, but without the hardware it will not work. You need the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz file instead and compile it. You might need an earlier version, but I believe this one works, if it does not you may fallback to a previous version. From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20080625.tar.gz Download it and extract it with $ tar -zxvf martian-20080625.tar.gz Also get the packages that scanModem suggests: For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. After downloading and installing those with $ sudo dkpg *.deb proceed with installation of martian modem drivers $ cd martian-full-20080625 $ make all $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe martiian_dev $ sudo martian_modem should tell you that your modem port is /dev/ttySM0. open up a terminal or tab and type $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf it should scan and find /dev/ttySM0 as the modem port. Edit it and remove the ";" and add username, password, ISP phone number and a line Carrier Check = no. You may also add another line with a comment # Stupid Mode = 1 if you have trouble connecting to certian ISPs. If you have further questions or troubles, please write back.
