Hi

I am trying to install driver for HSP56 MR modem.
I have RH9.
The driver I am trying to install is pctel-0.9.6

I am typing ./configure -auto
or
./configure -manual

and it stops because it can't find kernel sources.

I read that it should be in /usr/src/linux
but it's not there.

How do I install kernel sources?

My kernel version is 2.4.20-6.
Also I found something like kernel-2.4.20-6.src.rmp, Is it something that I am suppose to install? What do I do with it?

I know that some people got winmodems to work.
Can you help me?

Thanks.

go to the apackages manager and add ( Kernel developpement section ) it ll install the kernel source package and some pf others stuff

I think I installed the driver but the modem still doesn't work.

After I typed:
insmod -f pctel.o
and
insmod -f ptserial.o

it said that (both) module was loaded with warning.
Is it suppose to be like that?

Now, the KPPP can't find the modem.
/dev/modem couldn't be found.
I tried other options in 'device' tab, but nothing works. Sometimes it says 'modem is busy'.

What should I do at this point?
Is there any way to mount /dev/modem?

I did it.
I did it.
I did it.

Rules!!!

Could you please tell me what you did to get it working??? I'm in the same boat

I downloaded the driver from here

Then you have to extract the package.

then you cd to the unpacked folder and then to src.

By the way, you need to have kernel-source installed.

then
./configure -auto

then you cd ../driver and you should see there 2 files
pctel.o
ptserial.o

and type
insmod -f pctel.o
then
insmod -f ptserial.o

then you can try KPPP

I assume that you have RH9 installed from original CDs, otherwise some additional steps might be necessary.
I have pretty nice document describing everything but I can't find the link now.
Let me know when you're stuck.
