Daniel, I believe the main issue is that slamr.ko is not created because your machine is 64 bit and it only works for 32 bit versions of linux CPU=x86_64, Ubuntu , ALSA_version=1.0.21 Linux version 2.6.32-34-generic (buildd@yellow) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 19:39:17 UTC 2011 Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems, while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are: 1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers. In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component. This example cited above is for SLMODEMD + ALSA and not slamr.ko which is 32 bit dependent. I do not know if installing a 32 bit kernel + 32 bit userland will yield a working driver? I would recommend installing 32 bit linux if you do not mind the trouble or try to virtualize it and see if you can communicate with the modem that way?
