You may want to grab the correct drivers to suit your kernel. Posting to 
this list when your own posted error message says that it is known not 
to work in the configuration you have is pointless.

Either grab the right driver to suit your kernel/distribution or grab 
the driver sources and compile them manually on your system.

Also, I know I sound like a broken record every time I say this, but I 
still say fork out for an external serial modem. Soft modems bite the 
big one and should be un-invented.
