Roger,

The error:

Done.

	The DKMS driver autocompiling package is installed.
	The drivers source code is being installed to the folder
/usr/src/agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80
	Then the drivers will be compiled and installed by the dkms tool
		provided that your System has adequate compiling support.
	Following kernel upgrades, complementary drivers will be
	automatically compiled and installed.

Error! Could not locate agrmodem.ko for module agrsm-11c11040 in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae (i686) first.
For a first functional test, run:
 sudo agrsm-test

 The agrsm drivers not found for boot kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae .
 Were they installed for a different kernel version?
 Checking all installed module trees:

*/
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

Hunt the kernel headers package install it and try the command again.
Send your error messages to list (discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and others
that have encountered your problem may help.

Antonio
