installing linuxant drivers for modem--where are the C-compiler?
hi,
does anyone know how to install the modem drives for the connexant modem in inspiron 1100? this is the info for it: 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: Conexant: Unknown device 5422 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 I/O ports at c400 [size=256] I/O ports at c080 [size=128] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 i went to www.linuxant.com and download hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04061800full-1.i386.rpm . i then double clicked on the file and installed it. if that's the wrong file, please provide appropriate link. i have: 2.6.3-7mdk. i then installed kppp. however, kppp doesn't detect the modem or it says it's busy. where have i gone wrong? |
You need to point kppp to /dev/modem into 'device' tab.
if this doens't work, I'd recommend you to download the .tar.gz file which contains the driver's source code and it's easier to install. Regards |

If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to: http://www.linuxant.com/ When reporting a problem for the first time, please send us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag". No pre-built modules for: Mandrake-10.0 linux-2.6.3-7mdk i686 Trying to automatically build the driver modules... (this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed) Please ensure that the kernel-headers or kernel-source package is installed. Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux] hsfconfig WARNING: missing file hsfconfig/include/linux/autoconf.h The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link). :confused: :confused: :confused: where is this source build? in installed mdk10 off the 3 downloadable isos. thanks. |
Don't panic ;). You need a package called kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk, you can find it on your instalation cds. In order to install it, run from console:
su <enter> type your root password Now type: urpmi kernel-source once installed, proceed back to the modem driver instalation, and now when asked about this: Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux] the answer: /usr/src/linux And the installation can continue. After it's over, you'd be able to configure kppp Good luck!! :) |

Ubuntu 9.04 internal modem problems
As many others, I also have problems in getting the modem to work.
Using "sudo hsfconfig" the system either misses "autoconf.h" or "string.h" files. Yet I can find these files in my system where hsfconfig seems to expect them. What must I do to get it done? |
