Were they installed for a different kernel version? Checking all installed module trees: Exiting */ means that you need kernel headers for your installation. These are important for the drivers. To remedy the situation, you would need to hunt the kernel headers down: scanModem did report this, but I was not sure that it was actually needed <quote> linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae 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 </quote> Hunt the kernel headers package install it and try the command again.
