USB ADSL modem troubles

[o0zi]

I have an Allied Data Copperjet 800 USB ADSL modem. I'm in the UK, and I'm trying to get it to work with Freeserve Broadband. I found some drivers for the modem (ppoe won't work because it's not connected to an Ethernet card), and they're in beta (co800.sourceforge.net). I come up with a problem when I compile the drivers - about the stage when the kernel modules are being built (the errors from make are below). It could just be that the drivers aren't working because they're in beta, but I don't want to have to wait until they develop further. It's a little disappointing, so I'm hoping somebody can help. Any ideas?

It seems to me that you don't have your kernel source code installed. You will need that to compile kernel drivers.

[o0zi]

I worked that out myself in the end anyway - the kernel source is hidden in the depths of the Mandrake internationalization CD (what a strange place to put it!). However, I've hit another problem - the drivers ask for my static I.P. address and I have a dynamic one. What should I do?

It seems to me (by looking at the name) that you downloaded a driver that only is for static IP addresses. See if there is one for dynamic ones instead.
