Marianna, Within a couple of weeks some of our more advanced List members will try to update the agrsm code, hopefully to achieve functionality under 2.6.31 karmic kernels for the 11c11040 modem chip. The dkms component leading dkms-agrsm just refers to a separate dkms update manager software. It is possibly with difficulty to install older 2.6.27 Intrepid series kernels under which there are functional agrsm drivers. However, this process is NOT for the Linux novice, as it required a risky uninstalling and reinstalling of the grub2 bootup manager. Additionally, for my Nvidia graphics board at least, the 2.6.27 kernel+module code was not fully compatible with stable displays on my otherwise Ubuntu Karmic system. Thus for now the recommended options for now are: 1) wait a few weeks with hope that the agrsm code updates are successful; 2) Consider buying a currently supported modem. Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternative modem hardware.
