Rahul,
scanModem reports that your modem *would be* supported through
slusb.ko. You would need to install 32 bit libraries to *test it* out
with no assurance that it will work :(
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit
component
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 004:
Modem chipset detected on
SLOT="Bus 004 Device 003:"
NAME="SGS Thomson Microelectronics 56k SoftModem"
bus=004
USBmodemID=0483:7554
IDENT=slusb
Driver=slusb
For a detailed USB cellphone usage report, see

For candidate modem in: 004
SGS Thomson Microelectronics 56k SoftModem
Primary device ID: 0483:7554
Support type needed or chipset: slusb
Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slusb
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For kernels 2.6.31 the slamr driver is not (yet) functional, failing
within at the
Carrier Check
function. Thus for service, retain a 2.6.30 or earlier kernel. For
Ubuntu users this
can be done by downloading the kernel from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic
and from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
the slamr-2.6.28-16-generic.tar.gz
For 2.6.31-19-generic compiling drivers is necessary. As of February
2010 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz
This is a difficult chore, but if you are willing to test it out, go
ahead and try. There are no guarantees and little to no success
reports with kernels >= 2.6.31 :(
Regards,
Antonio
