Edwin, I don't get the errors that you are getting :( I get WARNINGS, but that is about it. martian module is created see below: [students@localhost martian-full-20100123]$ cat README Martian is an alternative to the ltmodem and provides Linux support for Agere WinModem hardware. Major difference is that core moved to the user space. Driver comprises two parts: martian_dev - kernel module to configure devices, and serve irqs from it martian_modem - user mode application to supply major IO, buffers, user level streams. For specific details concerning distribution and usage look in directories. When configuring wvdial add "Carrier Check = no" line. No modem status is checked yet. Kernel mode part is linux-2.6 module. Project has a site http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/. There is also maintenance within the Debian distribution At http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages , search with "martian" for direction to the most recent code.

You'll supply it to the dialer. /dev/ttySM0 if argument omitted. Left martian_modem running and start the dialer. See options available # martian_modem --help ============== Auto ============== In scripts/ directory run automate.sh. $ cd scripts/ $ ./automate.sh You can supply the option to be passed to martian_modem on loading like $ ./automate --mode 0660 See ./automate.sh --help for more options. ============== Notes ============== 'martian_modem' program is a crucial part of the driver. It should be running as long as you access the modem. For technical reasons carrier status support is not available for the modem client. Configure dialer respectively. For wvdial add "Check Carrier = No" line to the configuration file. x86_64 platform. ---------------- martian_modem is a 32-bit application. It can be built on x86_64 the way prescribed, but you need 32-bit development environment for that. Second option is to use binary built on i386.
