Hi guys. I'm having a problem for about a month now. I tryed to do what everyone told me and i tryed everything that people told me to read. Redhat Linux 8 does not recognize my modem. I have PCTEL Platinum V. 90 modem. That is a internal winmodem. yes i do know it is possible to configure it but i don't know how. Can someone take me through this step by step?? Hold my hand all the way through. (Just kidding) but seriously i do need someone take me step by step. I have the drivers on CD and it's sitting here in front of me. Please reply back. Thanks guys.
I read the instructions so many times now. I even read them before you made the post with the instructions. They don't work. Please reply back. Thanks.
I'm going to try to do this the way i did this in the past and i'm going to post my output.
Try this:
1. Download the driver to /tmp.
2. Open a console, and from it, type tar -zxvf pctel-0.9.6.tar.gz. Then change to the directory by typing cd pctel-0.9.6.
3. Type ./configure --with-hal=pct789 --with-kernel-includes=/usr/src/linux-2.4/include. Make sure, before you do this, that you have your kernel sources in /usr/src/linux.
4. Type make and then su -c "make install"
5. Type insmod pctel and insmod ptserial.
6. Type tail /var/log/messages.
7. Compare the results to this:
May 16 23:28:17 suba kernel: PCTel initialization. Country code is 2.

May 16 23:28:17 suba kernel: ttyS15 at 0xe800 (irq = 9) is a PCtel
Try to use kppp to dial out, using /dev/modem as your modem.
uh no did not work. I will post my output.

"Please read that and then reply back. Thanks."
I don't where to start. I'm a beginner not advance user because i have a learning disability. I don't know how to fix the problem.
What error are you talikng about?? I have no clue what you are talking about.
Ok.
1.First, erase the directory where you tried to compile before. This will ensure you get a clean compilation.
2.Decompress the driver again
3.Go inside the pctel-0.9.6 folder.
4. Do the whole ./configure --with-hal=pct789 --with-kernel-includes=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include.
5. After that, go to the directory src/ptserial/, inside the pctel-0.9.6.
6. In there, open the file called Makefile on a text editor, and look for the line that says:
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -Werror -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -D$(HAL_TARGET) $(AUDIO_ROUTING) -DBUILD_SYSTEM=\""$(BUILD_SYSTEM)\"& quot; -DGCC_VERSION=\""$(GCC_VERSION)\"&qu ot; -I$(top_srcdir)/include -I$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) -include $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)/linux/modversions.h
Delete that line, and copy and paste the following one on its place:
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -D$(HAL_TARGET) $(AUDIO_ROUTING) -DBUILD_SYSTEM=\""$(BUILD_SYSTEM)\"& quot; -DGCC_VERSION=\""$(GCC_VERSION)\"&qu ot; -I$(top_srcdir)/include -I$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) -include $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)/linux/modversions.h
7.After that, you should be able to do the make & make install without problems.
