Daniel, If you install a 2.6.27 kernel+modules on your 2.6.30.5-43.fc11 System, you may well be able to use the modem under a boot with the older kernel. Antonio RE: The dkms-agrsm and agrsm-tools packages may fail to install on kernels >= 2.6.27 which has been reported before :( ---------- Not quite. Per below, The installation and loading of the drivers still are fine! Rather functionality of the drivers under 2.6.28 and later kernels is yet to be achieved.
