FileName DOCs/SMP.txt Some Linux distributions are providing stock kernels with Symmtric Multi Processing (SMP) enabled. This relates to PC motherboards with multiple processors. While SMP support is generally harmless for Systems with only a single processor, modem support under Linux is compromised by SMP kernels, whether or not the System has multiple processors. This limitation is NOT intrinsic. For example the IBM mwave modem does function with SMP enabled Linux kernels. The current problem is merely that the Lucent modem drivers under Linux have not yet been refined to function with SMP kernels. This code change will eventually reside in the proprietary component of the driver code, and is outside the effective access of the Maintainers of this kit. A simple test to check your kernel configuration file is: $ grep SMP YourKernelConfigFile CONFIG_SMP=y while the desired outcome is: # CONFIG_SMP is not set This choice is made in the Processor section of the kernel-sources configuration. Your Linux distribution may provide an alternative kernel+kernel-headers set without SMP enablement which will be suitable. DOCs/Compile_fail.txt and Flavor.txt are relevant reading also.

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
