twilight Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hmmm it still does not install the headers. Why? Because i want to make my winmodem work and according to the tutorial from the scanModem tool i have to have the headers and it says also during the installation process that the headers are not installed. All i see is that the autoconf matches current kernel but after that "diff: /boot/kernel.autoconf.h does not exist". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echylo Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 you can't install the headers? or not the drivers for the modem? cause you say you can't install it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I am curious as well. I have not had a "kernel.autoconf.h file ever in my /boot! Seem like that would be somewhere in /usr/src/linux, if it were needed to compile the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lsutil Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hi, I just installed Mandrake 10 and having the same problem as twilight. I am a total newbie in linux. How do we install the kernel source? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilight Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) Well the problem appeared because i wanted to install a driver for my winmodem Intel 537. The driver from the Intel 's site would work no matter what i tried. I downloaded the driver smartlink-softmodem 2.9.9 (not 2.9.10 cause doesn't have support for Intel 537) and when i tried to install the driver it didn't asked me for kernel headers. Just install the kernel source. It is very usefull. You can compile almost any C,C++ program if you have it. Also don't forget to install wvdial and configure it with the command # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf (as root after the installation of the driver and being activated with the command # slmodemd --country=YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0 Edited October 13, 2004 by twilight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
