Hi i just install redhat linux 9 and every thing went fine, until i went to configure my internet connection it didnot find my modem. So i went out and did some research on my modem and i found some drivers for conexant modem internal with a chipset made by intel but none of the drivers were for my kernel what should i do and the site i found the drivers for was linuxant.com.
what kind modem do you have? (HSF or HCF)?
here is a link to conexant's modem driver site http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/
and it does have rpm which was for your kernel.
none of the drivers are for my kernel version, so i tried using the generic package and I had a error it said to make show that the kernel package header was install what should i do.
I got some drivers for my hsf conexant modem with a intel chipset. I went to go and install the drivers for my modem and it told me that the kernel source package wasn't install and i need to install it before i can in stall the drives for my modem. My kernel version is 2.4.20-6 and my redhat linux installation cd does not have the package so i went over to redhat linux.com to download the kernel source package but the are three files to download that have source files which one whould i download and i i could download only the source package from where.
you do have the kernel source on your installation disc. but you just didn't find it.
it's something like kernel-source-...
also, the 3 image wasn't the kernel-source you needed, but was whole bunch of sources that's already installed on your system which was already compiled.
