Edwin,

I don't get the errors that you are getting :(  I get WARNINGS, but
that is about it.  martian module is created see below:

[students@localhost martian-full-20100123]$ cat README
Martian is an alternative to the ltmodem and provides Linux support
for Agere WinModem hardware. Major difference is that core moved to
the user space.

Driver comprises two parts:
	martian_dev - kernel module to configure devices, and serve irqs from it
	martian_modem - user mode application to supply major IO, buffers,
		user level streams.

For specific details concerning distribution and usage look in directories.

When configuring wvdial add "Carrier Check = no" line. No modem status
is checked yet. Kernel mode part is linux-2.6 module.

Project has a site http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/.
There is also maintenance within the Debian distribution
At http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages ,  search with "martian" for
direction to the most recent code.

=================
    Building
=================

In root directory run
$ make all


==================
   Installation
==================

In root directory run
$ su
# make install


==============
   Running
==============

Load module and run martian_modem first.
# modprobe martian_dev
# martian_modem [Options] [Tty]

Now Tty is the name of the device file to represent your modem. You'll
supply it to the dialer. /dev/ttySM0 if argument omitted. Left
martian_modem running and start the dialer.

See options available
# martian_modem --help


==============
     Auto
==============

In scripts/ directory run automate.sh.
$ cd scripts/
$ ./automate.sh

You can supply the option to be passed to martian_modem on loading like
$ ./automate --mode 0660

See ./automate.sh --help for more options.


==============
    Notes
==============

'martian_modem' program is a crucial part of the driver. It should be
running as long as you access the modem.

For technical reasons carrier status support is not available for the
modem client. Configure dialer respectively. For wvdial add "Check
Carrier = No" line to the configuration file.


x86_64 platform.
----------------

martian_modem is a 32-bit application. It can be built on x86_64 the
way prescribed, but you need 32-bit development environment for that.
Second option is to use binary built on i386.

To compile and install module only do
$ make -C kmodule/ modules
$ su
# make -C kmodule/ install
