[SWLUG] conexant usb modem installation

[Stephen]

Dear All

I have been trying to install a driver for a Conexant DGC USB dialup modem.

I ran the installation file "dgcmodem_i386.deb" and quickly got to a 
stage that I did not understand:
"Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build] "

I accepted the prompted location.  However it did not install and I was 
left with a message:
"ERROR: Module build failed!
Please examine the log file "/tmp/dgcconfig-buildlog.txt" to determine why."

At the location "/lib/modules/", there are two  directories
1) /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/  (I chose this one)
2) /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/

Out put from uname is:
"stephanos at dell:~$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic
stephanos at dell:~$"

Below I have reproduced these two sources of information in full.

Any help appreciated
