No, you install/upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, then you just download the new SLMODEMD-gcc4.4-alsa???? that corresponds to the alsa in Ubuntu 9.10. You don't have to get the new one or install it before updating. > Will I have to make any > changes to wvdial.conf when I change to SLMODEMD-gcc4.4? No, you will not have to make any changes. It should just work as usual. I did not notice that you were still using previous Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.28-???, that uses gcc 4.3.
