Where did you see reference to it? Without knowing what you've actually tried in your heap of how to's, it's hard to help. Did you look at this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788760

At least you have a Ubuntu based distro. It is complicated for me and I have used Linux for awhile. I believe you need to install kernel headers to get kernel source programs to work. Use Synaptic and search for your modem type. It will tell you what dependencies need to be filled. -tux-
