did you read the readme and follow what it says? you showed us the error messages which always helps.. but we dont know what you did to get those messages, ie what command gave that first set of error messages, and what command gave the 2nd set..

here is a sample from readme.txt, but read it all
Quote:
...
6 steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 537
6. Type: make install
This will create a /dev/modem device file. This file is used as an interface to
modem by all applications: minicom, kpppd, efax, etc. Please configure the applications
to use /dev/modem if neccessary.

The installation script has been designed for the following distributions
release versions

mandrake-release
SuSE-release
redhat-release
debian_version (including Corel)
slackware-version
conectiva-version
bluepoint-release
redflag-release
Unknown distributions install modules and utilities but
will not install boot scripts!.

Please examine the 537_inst and 537_boot scripts if you have a different distribution.

The driver registers itself as character device
major number 240, minor number 1.
The driver takes one argument right now, which is used to enable softbuzzer. It is disabled by default.

ATTENTION: if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.
Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.

0. log in as root.
1. insmod -f Intel537.o (Intel537.ko for kernel 2.6)
2. you can start "hamregistry &" at this point if you wish.
3. rm /dev/537
4. mknod /dev/537 c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says 537's major number is)
5. ln -s /dev/537 /dev/modem
6. start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.
7. see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct
country settings.
...
it says the script is designed for debian, ubuntu is debian-based so i would still try it, id think it would work just fine.
