Is this modem a winmodem? If so, try going to www.linmodems.org to see if your particular modem is supported under Linux or not.
Let us know! |
i checked up on them.
there both winmodems but are compatiable. but it seem the hcf one is more compatiable thn the pctel one. but i need help on getting the dam driver installed. cuz like i said i tried everything possible. short of wrecking my cpu. plez help, gammak7:newbie: |
what problem are you having with installing the driver exactly?
|
the problem i'm having is when i got to load the drivers its saying icant compile them under my current compiler kernal
my kernal is 4.??? tht i know for certian. i even tried the pctel.o and ptserial.o trick but alas no avail. plez help. if nessecary i'll post my current modem scan of my make and model of my hardware form the script if u need the info on how to proceed. sincerely, gammak7 |
Try the older version of the driver.
|
if you have a problem remember to give the exact error message outputted by the program, it makes it easier to help.
