USB ADSL Modem with mandrake drivers

I've got an USB ADSL Modem that I want to install on RedHat 9 but there are only drivers for Mandrake 9 available, is there a way to modify the drivers so they'll work on redhat?

the drivers can be found here:
w w w.e-tech.nu/support/adsl_files/downloads/linuxv2.htm

can somebody please help me, I really would like to be able to go online on linux..

can somebody at least reply to this..

u can try the drivers from there....
mandrake and redhat are very similar...they should work...
let me know what happened

hmm.. i've posted this almost 2 months ago..
I've switched to Mandrake 9 in the meantime, the drivers should work for this os, but i get a different error now..

This is what i have to do:

Quote:

1. tar -zvxf CA80UEL030116VES_PPP.tar.gz
2. cd ca80u_mandrake_90
3. ./install
4. plug the usb cable to adsl usb modem
4. ./connect
5. ifconfig hsb0 up
6. dhcpcd hsb0

this is what i get when i do this:
