Carl, Either the compile is failing or dkms automatic update for sl-modem is not implemented. Let's check the possibilites. First do: $ sudo apt-get install sl-modem-dkms which should fix automation issues. On my System the driver code package is at: /usr/src/sl-modem-2.9.11~20110321/drivers/ Therein the results of a compile are shown, though only slusb.ko is compiled on my 64 bit system. Run the equivalent on your system, and report the results. MarvS --------- /usr/src/sl-modem-2.9.11~20110321/drivers$ sudo make clean.
