Hello DSL,

I found the information about my winmodem Cirrus/Ambient/Intel MD5620
on http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html#intel and I want install on DSL, but I need compile on kernel 2.4.26!!

I have recently downloaded one from:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/
dsl-3.0.1.iso

and

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....ces-2.1
linux-2.4.31.tar.gz?
knoppix-kernel.patch
dsl.config

Where I found the 2.4.26 source?

What I need to use my old modem with DSL?

Have a how to about kernel compilation here?

DSL found my winmodem:

lspci

0000:00:09.0 Communication controller:
Cirrus Logic: Unknown device 4000

cat /proc/pci

Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Communication controller PCI device 1013:4000 (Cirrus Logic) (Rev 0)
IRQ 11
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xed800000 [0xed800ff]
I/O at 0xb0ff]

I found this messages and I am very confused now

The link that I posted is only for adding mydsl files to a .iso file before burning to a CD. I have downloaded lots of mydsl files and DSL is so small that I hate wasting all of the extra space on a CD.

It sounds like what you are trying to do is complie some drivers. I haven't done much of this and I gave up on my winmodem that used a rockwell chip set. I have compiled some programs and what I did was download:

gcc.dsl
clibs.dsl
kernel sources.dsl

I may not have the names exactly right and meo's post may have more up to date names. Anyway insatall the above packages and then type make in the directory were you saved your program code.

OK I can

, but this winmodem have experimental drivers (alpha)
I tried absolutely everything with this driver - nothing worked

bash-2.05b# make
Ld -m elf_8386 -r -o clm.o clm_dspdrv clm_modem.o clmodem.o

bash-2.05b# mknod /dev/clm c 121 0

bash-2.05b# /sbin/insmod clm.o

bash-2.05b# ln -s /dev/clm /dev/modem

bash-2.05b# dmesg
CL-MD5620DT modem found
OK

I hear the modem open port, but the modem don't dialing

Sorry I'm not much help on this. I was reading this link:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/compiling.html

It is from your link about compiling and it says code for drivers may contain some proprietary binaries to compile with the source. That binary may need something that most linuxes has so you might try installing gnu-utils.dsl.

I wish they had something like ndiswrapper for modems because wifi works good with dsl without compiling stuff.
