When I type in agr and push tab twice the only file listed is agrsm-test. I tried that and it gives this output: 'The agrsm drivers not found for boot kernel 2.6.31-14-generic .

I don't know if that command is supposed to work when not booting but I tried it anyway: '$ sudo modprobe agrserial FATAL: Module agrmodem not found. FATAL: Module agrserial not found.'
