Antony, Have you rebooted your machine? <quote> A reboot may be necessary before modem detection through: sudo modprobe agrserial Which will load agrmodem, agrserial and create the symbolic link needed for: sudo wvdialconf </quote> Also you may be benefitted by installing dkms package: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-7_i386.deb Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates, following upgrade of your kernel. Let us know if that helped.
