Currently i been using SUSE now for 1 week...still cant get online due to my winmodem......
ive tryed many things...today i saw this guy post some modules and a readme on installing them to make the PCTel HSP MicroModem 56 (rev 2)work...
so far he said it was tested on :
SuSE 8.2 kernel 2.4.20-4GB
SuSE 9.0 kernel 2.4.21-199-default
I tryed doing hes procedure on my SUSE 9.1....but when im doing the last steps i get a module error...
Im thinking that its happening cause i have a 2.6.4-52 kernel??
here the instructions..
Code:

# tested with
# SuSE 8.2 kernel 2.4.20-4GB
# SuSE 9.0 kernel 2.4.21-199-default
# may work with others
#
#
# first you must unzip the modules
# gunzip *.o
#
#
# works with /dev/ttyS15, MAJOR=62 MINOR=79.
# if ttyS15 is different, you may leave it as is,
# and use the new /dev/pctel device.
#
# my configuration
mknod /dev/pctel c 62 79
chgrp uucp /dev/pctel
chmod 666 /dev/pctel
# ln -s /dev/pctel /dev/modem
# (i don't link it to the modem, i use it directly)
insmod -f ./pctel.o
insmod -f ./ptserial.o
I really wish i could get online....so do i need to get that old kernel??
if so where can i download it? ive searched everywhere(SUSE ftp/RPM seek/Google....cant find it..
