Hia, thnx for the prompt reply my linmodem (of PCTel origin) is working fine now as for the sm56 prob, Motorola recently discontinued linux support for the sm56 and pulled down the concerned webpage however, AFAIK, there is a backup website effort going on by some volunteers from what i gather at the linmodems list, the motorola drivers are availabe as precompiled kernel modules so what i suggest is that u download the sm56 drivers; install them with --nodeps; do a modprobe sm56 (or whatever it might be,); if that loads, then it is ok (do a lsmod to verify) if you get Unresolved Symbols ... message (there is a 90% chance) refer to http://sayamindu.topcities.com/pctel.html#AEN456 that may work (hopefully) cheers Sayamindu
