You should not need to download anything to compile the PCTel driver. Everything is
on your installation CDs for Mandrake (I know, because I recompile this all the time).
You definately do not need to compile a new kernel, nor do you want to download a
different kernel source as some have suggested. I've compiled this driver with
versions 8.0 through 9.1RC1 of Mandrake (although the 9.1 betas and RC1 needed some
tweaking of the script to get it to work).
I'm not at my linux box right now, but will be this this evening. But I can check
then on my notes as to anything special I had to do.
Almost always, with Mandrake, the error you are getting means that the actual kernel
sources were not installed (or installed correctly). What version of Mandrake are you
running and what package did you install for the kernel sources (and did you change
the name of the install directory)?

After googling around I found that the PCTel driver (version 0.9.5 and
up) supports this modem. I downloaded version 0.9.6 and tried to build
the module using "./configure --with-hal=i8xx" as directed by the
INSTALL file. However, ./configure complains with:
configure: error: modversions.h is missing - you should configure your
kernel first!
They recommend to install kernel sources to solve this problem but I
already have installed them. The other ugly solution (as they called it)
is to "touch /usr/src/linux/include/modversions.h". This one didn't
work.
Has somebody had this sort of problem?
Any information on how to solve this problem will be truly welcome.
