Neal, At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ there is slamr-2.6.28-11-generic.tar.gz with pre-compiled drivers. Unpack with: $ tar zxf slamr*.tar.gz Browse the new folder and run therein $ sudo ./setup This should get you on line fastest. Once online under Linux: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic dkms sl-modem-source sl-modem-daemon This will provide for automated upgrade of the drivers whenever you upgrade the kernel.
