Networking :: Problems with Motorola SM56 driver



Hi

I'm using DSL 2.4 for a little while and i still don't know much on how to do something... even so everything is working great. The olny problem i got was on trying to install my modem Motorola SM56 and i really need some help with that.

following some information i found, here is how i did it:

I downloaded and installed the Kernel-source; Kernel-headers; and gcc1

Them i downloaded the driver sm56.tar.gz from www.sm56.tk
unpacked it and get to the directory

I tried the ./configure but it have no efects

Them i tried "make install" and it gives me some errors, here is the log:

also tried only make and them make install but gives the same result... and tried as root also...

i really need to get this working right..
any help will be very good..

Thanks for the atention
I had exactly the same problem ...... I have this modem and I don`t know how to install it .... I saw the script ... and is same what happened to me .
if I find some information I`ll post here
see  ya!
my friend I solved the problem .... you just have to edit the makefile of the folder sm56
in makefile  has a line like this usr/src/linux-2.4/include
and must be like this usr/src/linux-2.4.x/include
x= version of your kernel
see ya!
It would be good to email your compiled module (plus md5sum plus info file) to extensions@damnsmalllinux.org so others can benefit from your hard work.
yeah yeah ..... I'll put here a link to download the file...but I have a big big big problem ..... I have to recompile my kernel to make my module works!
I found informations.. to do this
but in the first command that I type it gives command not found
its make menuconfig
what is necessary to recompile and make this command works
?
