Olemis, since you have a usb modem that needs dgmodem http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/index.php METHOD B: DEBIAN PACKAGE (*.deb) If you have obtained the driver package in DEBIAN format: 1. install the package with "dpkg -i dgcmodem_{version}_{arch}.deb", if apt-get or some other tool hasn't already done it for you. 2. if necessary, run "dgcconfig" to complete the installation, or to change your modem's configuration. If you need to rebuild the Debian generic package from source, you can get the TAR package, and from the top directory run: "make debdist". A pre-compiled DEB package for the currently running kernel can be built using "make debprecomp" instead. Read installation instructions if you encounter difficulties http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/install.php Visit the page: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/downloads-license.php and click on accept then proceed to download the driver for x86_64 You might need the tar file since the debian has only 32 bit version http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/archive/dgcmodem-1.13/dgcmodem-1.13.tar.gz METHOD C: TAR PACKAGE (*.tar.gz) If you have obtained the driver package in tar format: 1. extract the package with "tar -xzf dgcmodem-{version}.tar.gz" 2. change to the package directory with "cd dgcmodem-{version}" 3. run "make install" from the top of the package directory. 4. run "dgcconfig" to complete the installation and configure your modem. (Alternatively to this whole procedure you may generate RPMS from the tar package using rpmbuild -ta dgcmodem-{version}.tar.gz") Try that one and report back.
