I just did. Now my network is working and the boot script isn't there anymore. -----Original Message----- From: Philippe Vouters [mailto:philippe.vouters@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 11:46 AM To: Andrew Merczynski-Hait Cc: Linmodems; Antonio Olivares; Marvin Stodolsky Subject: Re: I am bothered by the serial driver - Can't SSH to your Ubuntu computer Andrew, The problem with the "serial" driver is that it is included into the kernel and automicatically scans the PCI bus. It can't be blacklisted unless rebuilding a kernel. This driver interferes with the 537ep modem hence it likely displaying a NO DIALTONE. By the way did you boot the Ubuntu Rescue CD and could delete /etc/init.d/537_boot ????
