Okay, so I need to load a file named ungrab-windmodem.ko along with slamr.ko into my kernel: Slamr.ko I have already with 2008.0, ungrab-winmodem however I do not. After much searching online (via Windows; it’s these drivers I need to configure my modem in Linux!) I have only been able to find tarballed source file. I extracted the archive, but trouble is I’m still new -and ignorant – to compiling.

I’d be very appreciative if somebody could help me re-write the attached Makefile, it looks as far as I can tell, pretty simple, to the initiated at least; a case of removing parenthesis, and filling the relevant information at a guess.

I’ve been trying desperately to get online, using nidiswrapper and wvdial, but to no avail. I have spent hours reading books, trawling the net, learning how to use the command line to set up various applications, but source is beyond me right now. I’ll learn it later, but for now I need to de-linux, and just want to do some casual online surfing, get some hours back. Somebody else will know this in a flash, to me that's hours.

So I need to “make clean”, “make”, then “make install” with this, I have read:

KERNEL_VER:=$(shell uname -r)
KERNEL_DIR:=/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VER)/build
INSTALL_DIR:=/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VER)/extra

obj-m := ungrab-winmodem.o


all:
$(MAKE) modules -C $(KERNEL_DIR) SUBDIRS=$(shell pwd)

clean:
$(RM) *.o *.ko *.mod.* .*.cmd *~
$(RM) -r .tmp_versions

install: all
install -D -m 644 ungrab-winmodem.ko $(INSTALL_DIR)/ungrab-winmodem.ko
/sbin/depmod -a
uninstall:
modprobe -r ungrab-winmodem ; echo -n
$(RM) $(INSTALL_DIR)/ungrab-winmodem.ko
/sbin/depmod -a

Thankyou

Just tried this at the shell, creating the directory "build" before running make a second time:

[root@localhost ungrab-winmodem-20080126]# make
make modules -C /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build SUBDIRS=/media/hd/Software/LinuxSoftware/ungrab-winmodem-20080126
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@localhost ungrab-winmodem-20080126]# make
make modules -C /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build SUBDIRS=/media/hd/Software/LinuxSoftware/ungrab-winmodem-20080126
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@localhost ungrab-winmodem-20080126]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ungrab-winmodem-20080126]#

Guessing this is the significant line: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.

There is no configure file, "./configure" did nothing, the readme tells me little else other than I ought have slmodem, and to 'make' and 'make install'.

I read this thread first:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nmodem-661794/

And so ran "locate 2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv" to be certain of install, a long list followed.

Anyone?

Still stuck on this one. Earlier I ran the command "urpmi kernel 2.6.22.0-1mdv2008.0.src.rpm", knowing nothing of the difference I should expect: I got not no message, just a new prompt. I did it again, this time with --src-install; In this instance I got the '#### x%' loaded output, seemingly it had installed.

Bearing in mind I only did this on reading the above cited thread, I have no idea what the rationale behind this is, suffice it to say trying to "make" ungrab-windmodem outputs the same as before.

What am I not doing?
