Can't get my PCTEL HSP56 configured on Mandrake 10

Hello, I just downloaded the driver for my modem, and when I try to install it following the directions of the Readme file, it shows me two critical error during the making and installing of the driver.

 

According to the Readme file, it should install itself on

 

"KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux

Default KERNEL_DIR is '/lib/modules/<kerne-version>/build'"

 

But, mandrake 10.0 doesn't have such a directory, the only BUILD directory is in usr/src/RPM/BUILD, but, even if I put that one on the makefile, it still shows the following errors.

 

 

 

[david@Tutopia slmodem-2.9.9]$ make

make -C modem all

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/modem'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/modem'

make -C drivers KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/RPM/BUILD

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/drivers'

cc -I/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/include -o kernel-ver kernel-ver.c

make all KERNEL_VER=2.6.0

make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/drivers'

make modules -C /usr/src/RPM/BUILD SUBDIRS=/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/drivers

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD'

make[3]: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo `modules'. Alto.

make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD'

make[2]: *** [all] Error 2

make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/drivers'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/win_e/slmodem-2.9.9/drivers'

make: *** [drivers] Error 2

 

And, afterwards, when I type make install and search for the files that are supposed to be installed I see there aren't any of them, I think I should change the directory in the Makefile, but, I don't know where the Kernel Tree is.

 

I think I should replace something in the makefile , but I don't know what, help me, I'm really looking forward surfing the net with Mandrake.

you can install your kernel with the mandrake control center ("configure your computer"). go to the software-install section, and type in the search field "kernel", this should show you the kernel options you have for install. :)

Open up a terminal (or console) window and type this:

rpm -qa | grep kernel-source

If installed it will return something like:

kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk

If NOT, it will just return to the cli (command prompt) and we will need to get the exact version of your kernel ... so we can match it with the proper source.

rpm -qa | grep kernel

This should return something like:

kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk

Hi there, I just installed the kernel source and everything worked perfectly but, I don't know what to do next :oops: , this is what I got after installing everything:

 

[root@localhost sbin]# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA /dev/slamr0

SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9 Aug 10 2004 19:35:08

symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.

modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'

Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

 

After that, what do I have to do in order to connect to the Internet?, I really don't know what to do, so I'm lost big time, I suppose it has something to do with Configuring your Computer>Internet>New connection, though I'm not pretty sure.

 

Thanks for all your help so far!

well, I'm using Gnome (for some reason KDE didn't want to be installed in my computer :furious3: ).

 

Is kppp a way to create a dial up connection?.

Can I use kppp in a Gnome enviroment?

Is RP3 the Gnome's "kppp"?

 

If none of the questions before is useful for helping me resolve the problem, then, what should I do?

 

Once again, thank you guys, you've been really pacient with me

 

:oops:
