I'm running a KDE desktop on SuSE 9.3 on an Intel P4 530 / Intel 915GAV / 512 MB DDR machine.

I have problems with the drivers provided at my ADSL USB modem maker's website - check billion dot com - support -> download -> firmware driver -> bipac 7000. [The board prevented me from including a URL since this is my first post.]

Here are the results of following the instructions in the driver file package. (You should read the instructions to understand the following.)

I start with the make command ('cause that's all I was able to copy/paste from Konsole):

d/e2> make
gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -march=i686 -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c usbsndcm.c -o usbsndcm.o

---------------------------------------

Well, after the above, I don't see any CnxE2Fw.bin file (I am told that *n*x is case-sensitive BTW) but I see a cnxe2fw.bin.110502_rel10_E file. I rename this to the above then copy it to /etc, *after* having su-ed, which the instructions didn't tell me to do but without which I couldn't proceed.

But if I run insmod e2.o from any of the directories involved, I get a "No such file or directory error". I even tried insmod e2, removing the ".o". No use.

Now what to do?

Thanks in advance.
