Modem's and kernel headers...
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to this, so please go easy on me...
OK, so I've got a Toshiba Satellite A10 laptop, and I put rh9 on it. Generally satisfied, and I have now managed to get everything but the modem to work. I installed + ran scanModem, and this is what I got:
Reading more detail for the Device at:
PCI bus
-------
00:1f.6 Class 0703: 8086:24c6 (rev 03)
Subsystem 1179:0001
00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 1800 [size=256]
I/O ports at 1480 [size=128]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
-------------------------------------------------------
8086:24c6 PCI_ID of the PCI bus with vendor: 8086
1179:0001 PCI_ID of Subsystem with vendor: 1179
-------------------------------------------------------
are key Sought Descriptions of your modem firmware.
Have them ready when visiting URLs with service software!!
An AC'97 or MC97 controller cooperates with the modem Subsystem
8086:24c6 INTEL ICH4 +
First accessing chipset provider and modem assembler information
for the modem SubSystem under the AC'97 or MC97 Controller.
=== Checking 1179 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ====
Vendor 1179 is Toshiba, using some motherboards with soft modems.
=== Checking 8086 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ====
Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, the 537 soft modem
and AC'97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem subSystems.
These subSystems will in have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, not Intel.
Download available drivers from: <snip>developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Also check at: <snip>inmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html
for early releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
====== PCI_ID checking completed ======
Of course there was more, but irrelevant to this post. Now, I downloaded the appropriate driver from linmodems..., and when I went to intall it, I got a message along the lines of
/usr/src/(something...) no such directory
where it was looking for kernel headers. It got worse, as it would seem that I do not have the kernel headers at all! Does redhat9, with its rpm package management, not install them? Where can I get them then?
Also, assuming I get the above driver installed, does anyone know if it will even work?
OK, thanks in advance, look forward to some brilliant advice soon. Cheers!
