Carlos,
Thanks for forwarding the ModemData.txt
I can see the statement:
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.3
linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
and what you tried to do to remedy it
>>> carlos@carlos-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
>>> Reading package lists... Done
>>> Building dependency tree
>>> Reading state information... Done
>>> linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic is already the newest version.
>>> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Your machine is i686 and not x86_64. The drivers are not working, or
the kernel devel/sources are not present and will fail to build. I
hope that Marv can test the drivers?
I don't have 2.6.32 kernel now, but on 2.6.34 to test. I do believe
pctel code has not been updated to accomodate new kernel changes :(
Hope we can find something to help figure this out.
Regards,
Antonio

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides
for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

The PCI slot 05:06.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.

linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
