This isnt about installing it, well somewhat, cause I have the guide from the linux documentation project for how to install a pctel hsp56 micromodem, which is fine. But for some reason when I try to set my chipset (not mattering which one) with ./configure, on every possible one I get an error with the file modversions.h.
I have the file in two places as I have looked (/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/include/linux and
/usr/include/linux)
but while its configuring the chipset I always at the same spot, not mattering which chipset I choose to config, get :
checking /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h usability... no
checking /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h presence... no
checking for /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h... no
configure: error: modversions.h is missing - you should configure your kernel first!
does anyone think that they could please help? if you need more info I can always get it.....
Thank you very much as it worked fine and the configuration finished fine. But now when I'm finally getting to it start dialing I have another problem. I am using kppp and when it dials to the number and it trys to connect to the network it gets an error. First it was a number 19 error and now its 16 and I'm completly lost. Btw half the time when I dial, it just freezes the pc up and goes on something like a busy signal, any idea? Thank you for any help
I had the same problem i installed everthing and i was still getting error codes, i just gave up on it. I even double check that i installed it right and i had the same modem as you.
