need help wit a ConexantSoftK56 winmodem!!
Ive got this Conexant SoftK56 PCI winmodem and after scouring the net for hours ...i dloaded drivers from http://www.mbsi.ca/hsflinux/
i proceede wit the installation by installing the rpms.. typed hsfconfig it asked me where my soucre header files are.. i gave the correct location.. it however then failed and generated a log file in my temp which goes like - ########################################## rm -f *.o make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec' rm -f *.o make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec' make -C osspec all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec' * Compiling osmemory.c In file included from osmemory.c:1: /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers, /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but headers from an appropriate kernel-source make[1]: *** [osmemory.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec' make: *** [osspec] Error 2 ########################################## i read up a post bout installing the same modem using mbsi's drivers which hinted that i must recompile my kernel source header files... being a total newbie i have the faintest idea how to do the same i tried an #rpm -i kernel-headers*.rpm (after mnt cdrom..) but i got a message sayin rpms are already installed... could any1 plz help me out in installin these drivers,recompiling the kernel ? My Linux distrib is Mandrake Linux 8.1 P!!! 866 Mhz. |
Hi,
For me the message you get means that it needs kernel source. So not only kernel-headers, but also kernel-source. So maybe install the package kernel-source and look if it works. Mara |
i don't think you need to recompile your kernel - check in the /usr/include directory... there should be a directory there called "linux" - run an "ls -l linux" and it should get shown to be a soft link to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
if it's not, then create the link using ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux make sure that users have read permission. |
