Slackware 9.0 modem problem .

[mikeFoo]

Hi,
i total n00b and need help setting up my lucent modem (worked a treat under Mandrake 9.0).

Downloaded the source files.

did a probe :

got this

A supported Lucent/Agere DSP chipset modem is identified:  PCI_ID=11c1:044c
    VENDOR 0x11c1         DEVICE 0x044c
 ID are within the serviced ranges for Lucent/Agere DSP modems:
   ------------------------------------------
    LUCENT 0x11c1          0x0440-0x045c
    XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0000-0x000F
    XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0440-0x045c
    XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0010-0x03ff
  -------------------------------------------
 Drivers and their compiler kits are available at:
       http://www.heby.de/ltmodem/
  
For more details read the Recording file.

Good.


Now, i go ./build_module

got this

================================================== ===============
All should work automatically for most Linux installations/distributions,
IF a complete kernel-headers/ folder is available:
through a symbolic link: /lib/modules/KernelVersion/build --> PATH_to/kernel-headers/
at the classical /usr/src/ position.
Otherwise a symbolic link will be necessary:
ln -s PATH_to/kernel-headers/ /usr/src/linux
Read DOCs/Compile-properly.txt and 1ST-READ if an explanation is needed about kernel-headers.

To compile modules for a kernel other version than 2.4.20, such as version 2.2.17-3test, use syntax:
./build_module 2.2.17-3test
where the version.h in the kernel-headers/ folder has 2.2.17-3test

If desirable to make a record for trouble shooting purposes,
Abort with Ctrl-C. First start a recording script with:
script ltrecord.txt
Then again the command: ./build_module


================================================== ==================
Diagnostic information is progressively being written to BLDrecord.txt .
Often, contents of BLDrecord.txt will aid in solving a problem.

Now acquiring distribution data:
The Linux distribution is: slackware, Slackware 9.0.0
TARGET_CPU=
End of distribution check.

==================================================

Checking for any preliminary complications.
Kernel config file not recognized within the /boot folder.

OK thus far.

Removing old makings and expanding a clean source.tar.gz
Setting BLDrecord.txt link within source/ folder.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 aboo users 16 Apr 10 20:13 BLDrecord.txt -> ../BLDrecord.txt
Following a successful check for matching kernel-headers,
the modem drivers will be compiled for the current kernel version: 2.4.20

Performing a configure trial and capturing the report to ../conf-report.txt.
Parsing the report:
No kernel headers found.
A sample successfull conf_out.txt is in the folder DOCs/
Read in DOCs/ ForNewbies, Compile-Properly.txt and Flavor.txt

For the Linux distribution SuSe and perhaps Others,
the resource test failure may merely be
because Root permission is needed to access kernel-headers/ folders.
Login in as Root and re-run ./build_module

If you have kernel headers installed but configure did not
find them, please try:
configuring the sources with utils/srcprep
if a Debian like System, see utils/kpkgprep
install the kernel headers from your distribution if available.
Do carefully read 1stREAD.
Two other common problems are unreadable kernel sources
(SuSE - build as root) or unconfigured kernel sources
(configure kernel sources and execute make dep in the
kernel source tree).

Ok, copied the source files :

what's next ?Please , i need my modem .

it would be great if someone could walk me throug this process (ie remove the driver and show step-by-step howit's done).

Thank you.

Do you have your kernel source installed? You can download some from kernel.org or use the one on your slackware cdrom.

Good luck

Did you look at what i posted ?I thought i already have it /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/ .Am i wrong ?

[kriss]

Sorry, I missed that part.

Did you try to build it as root?

Good luck

What it is asking for is your kernel headers.
This is a requisite of the ltmodem source build. So install your kernel headers and you should be good to go. Let us know how it goes.
