-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Announcement: PCTEL driver for kernel 2.4.x Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 18:57:55 -0500 From: David Mehringer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Jan Stifter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Jan, Thanks! Works like a charm. The only place I got hung up was on modversions.h. I had a modversions.h in /usr/include/linux and tried to create an appropriate symlink but make complained that I shouldn't use this system file. I then realized I didn't actually have the kernel source installed, so got it off of RH 7.1 CD 2 (RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm). After doing cd /usr/src; ln -s linux-2.4.2 linux make;make install proceeded as advertised and minicom (and eventually RH PPP dialer) found the modem and were able to connect to my ISP. I can now disconnect my external modem until at least my next upgrade.
