Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. For 2.6.35-27-generic compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz For your modem, visit the page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sl-modem&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all and download both files and install with $ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
