Upgrading to a later kernel, such as 2.4.21-144 with matching kernel-source is the simplest may of avoiding problems. SuSE 9.1 comes with a SmartLink slamr.ko driver installed, aiding identification of softmodem codecs by: dmesg | grep slamr For the 9.1 Personal (single CD installation) winmodem packages have be downloaded from the SuSE 9.1 repository Should compiling drivers may be necessary, the following additional packages will have to be downloaded and installed: make, glibc-devel, gcc-3.3.3 and kernel-source. The kernel-headers are co-installed with the kernel-source. Thus subsequent driver compiling does Not require additional preparations. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
