scoopy Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I don't know, but it looks like insmod is not installed. I quickly checkd and this belongs to an rpm named "modutils" --- you have this installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 that'd be my guess as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neocytrix Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 How do I check if insmod is or isn't installed, if its not installed how do I install it? -Neocytrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 On the commandline as root , do urpmi modutils It will say that everything is already installed if you have it. Here's how you can check: [root@omarserenity omar]# urpmf /sbin/insmod modutils:/sbin/insmod [root@omarserenity omar]# rpm -qa | grep modutils modutils-2.4.25-2mdk That tells me that modutils-2.4.25-2mdk is installed. If it weren't installed, it would've just returned me back to the prompt: [root@omarserenity omar]# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) also [root@ml root]# which insmod /sbin/insmod [root@ml root]# if not installed you'd get [root@ml root]# which foo which: no foo in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/share/apps/superkaramba/scripts) [root@ml root]# except for insmod Edited January 3, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neocytrix Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Okay I think the problem was I wasn't on root in the konsole, so I did that and everything apeared to work fine (there were no errors) but now how do I configure the driver and make it so I can get online? -Neocytrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 but now how do I configure the driver and make it so I can get online? Your getting into a whole new ballpark now. Probably best to start a new topic in the Hardware forum and be sure to tell us what modem and driver you have. You will get much better hardware config answers there. Might also want to try the readme that should have been included with the driver first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 what is the name of the module (driver). As root modprobe name_of_mod if it fails, is it because it's really not installed to /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/<where_ever_it's_suppose_to_go ? Or because other modules need to be loaded first? Have any instructions? README or INSTALL file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
