Guest stevetgn Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Can anyone help me with installing a speed touch usb modem. Linux will reconise it but I can't connect to the internet. It keeps asking for "mgmt.o" and tells me to copy it some where. HELP!!!! I'm a very experienced Windows 9x - XP user but totally new to Linux and Mandrake!!! More people would be so much more willing to make the jump to Linux if there were just simple exe. files for driver installation. With modern powerful operating systems like mandrake there should be no need for all this shit! I would be very greatful for any help. Thanks in advance!!!

Gowator Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 The Board: Hold off guys, he doesn't realise what he said. Steve, ever heard of DLL's and vxd's. Seriously, a .o extension in linux is a module file. Now in windows DLL's and vxd's overwrite each other. In windows they don't. The instalation files for windows are provided by the hardware manufactuerers wheras 95% of linux ones are producced by volunteers with or without the collaboration of the manufacturer. If your install is reasonably new type locate mgmt.o If it doesn't find it perhaps its added since the database behinf locate was updated. type updatedb as root. Try the locate again. Assuming its found then copy it where its meant to go. cd to the dirctory its in then cp mgmt.o /<pathprovidedbymessage>/ If you didn't find it this time its time to find it on the install CD's. Start RPMDRAKE from the configuration/packaging menu and click on the search for files. Type the name and it 'should' find the package. click to install and try again. If it still needs moving just copy it as above. If you are completely without it I have the Wanadoo CD at home and I think it has the linux drivers on. Its weekend and I'm waiting for France Telecom to switch on my new ADSL so get back to me soon. Worst case I'll hook up a modem and email it to you.

Guest stevetgn Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Thanks ever so much Stephen. I'm a complete genius with Windows, but talk about a noobie with Linux!!! I only tried it for the first time last week. I'll try what you have suggested. Thanks also for offering to email the drivers. If they are less than 1mb send to thegingerninja@msn.com Thanks again. Steve PS less of the humour next time!!! hehe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
