Hi Joshua & Antonio, I've downloaded and installed the .deb file. I'm not sure how to check the modules or symlinks however. I tried that command: $ sudo ./agrsm-tools sudo: ./agrsm-tools: command not found So perhaps using the 2.6.29.* kernel mentioned before could help get it to work? wvdialconf still doesn't find anything. I read something within scanmodem about how a system can load and then unload the driver on startup. I wonder if that is happening.
