[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

You should try to install the RPM for the generic driver. This file is named
"Binary RPM" under the section "Generic
packages with source" on the download page.

This will allow you to compile the driver modules specifically for your
kernel.

You will need to have your kernel sources installed to use this package and
they must be the same sources that were used to compile your currently
running kernel. If you are using a RedHat kernel, then you need to install
the RedHat RPM of the kernel sources.

Subject: red hat 9 modem problems


Have a amd k-2 computer, dual booting win 98 and redhat 9..version 2.4.20-8.
only the athlon drivers load, all others look for dependencies which are
there and close.
After running the athlon version, I can find nothing under the lsmod
command.
I can then run hsfconfig linmodem and this detects my modem, configures
country and at the end I receive this message.

This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for your system:

        Distribution: RedHat-9
        Kernel arch: i586
        Kernel version: Linux-2.4.20-8

Please obtain the appropriate variant of this package for your system
or try the generic RPM or tar version.

help appreciated.
