In case you haven't solved your problem yet, you must use the slmodem-2.9.9e-pre1.tar.gz package. It compiles cleanly with gcc-4. You'll also need the ungrab-winmodem module to make the driver work with your kernel (new kernels don't accept proprietary drivers, so you will need this module to make the driver work). You can find both the driver and the ungrab-winmodem module here . Note that you must load the wingrab-winmodem module before loading the slamr module.

The ungrab-winmodem module is not to compile the driver it's just to prevent problems with new 2.6.x kernels. Use the slmodem-2.9.9e-pre1 , it compiles without problems with gcc-4, but you will need the ungrab-winmodem module to make it compatible with your kernel. If you don't have luck with this option, you can try the alsa-driver which doesn't need the ungrab-winmodem module but I'm not sure how it works (I didn't have luck with it). Anyway, in the link I provided in my previous post are all the slmodem drivers released by linmodems; you can try with them, but try the newer ones to avoid problems with gcc-4. I hope this helps you.

I got an e-mail back from Sasha, the author of the smartlink driver, and she said that my issues have to do with my 64 bit processor... Something about how her driver is incompatible with my processor... I donno.... What do you think?
