Thus there is a success in a subsequent: > $ sudo agrsm-test To be precise, 'argsm' is copied (same file, but a different name). The agrsm-tools*.deb does not have agrsm.conf. I think having argsm.conf and agrsm-test files in the agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106.tar.bz2 tarball is not necessary, because these files are already present in the agrsm-tools package. Also, I have heard that recent Ubuntu releases complain if the files added to /etc/modprobe.d do not end with *.conf: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/foo, it will be ignored in a future release. > > Re: > Also, are the following statements in the 1stReadme.txt file > > still valid > ---------- > Yes.

Haven't tried to figure it out further I would argue that there is no reason to do 'sudo make' in Ubuntu or elsewhere. Building the *.ko modules does not require root privileges. One can just untar it in $HOME and run 'make' for the current kernel or 'make KRELEASE=2.6.28.10' for another kernel: ndz@toshi:~/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106$ make KRELEASE=2.6.28.10 make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/build M=/home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ndz/linux-2.6.28.10-build' make -C /home/ndz/linux-2.6.28.10 O=/home/ndz/linux-2.6.28.10-build/. modules CC [M] /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/agrsoftmodem.o SHIPPED /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/agrmodemlib.o CC [M] /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/hda.o CC [M] /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/serial26.o LD [M] /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/agrmodem.o LD [M] /home/ndz/SOURCES/modem/agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20100106/agrserial.o Building modules, stage 2.
