The last time there was a lot of false hits because of a typo in the grep pattern. This lack of results shows that the modules are not loaded.

I'm not on Ubuntu, so I've never personally used agrsm-tools. It seems the correct command is agrsm-test. It says the modules are not installed on your system. This is odd, as dkms should create them while you boot up, when they don't already exist. At this point I'll ask you to compile it manually, to find where the error lies. Please type the following: $ cd /usr/src/agrsm048pci-2.1.60 $ sudo make clean $ sudo make If the make finishes without errors (warnings are okay, and you'll get plenty of them), then: $ sudo make install If all is okay at this point, the problem would lie with dkms. But I doubt we'll get this far. I just remembered a problem some people have reported in Ubuntu distros when they don't have the full kernel-source installed. I reckon you'll see "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s'. Stop.".
