Have tried to install both 'kernel-devel' and 'kernel.src ' packages. In
both cases yum reports 'does not update installed packages--nothing to do'.
Tried to follow kernel source configuration directions in "Compiling drivers
for newbies" on this site. 'make mrproper' and 'make clean' both fail in
the [clean drivers] section with 'no such file or directory' (don't remember
what file it was looking for--sorry.
Made sure symbolic link '/usr/src/linux' pointed to correct folder and tried
to 'make' slmodem driver--using slmodem-2.9.11-20061021. Process always
fails at:
CC [M] /....../amrmo_init.o
/......./amrmo_init.c:46:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or
directory

Modem
Primary PCI_id 10b9:5459

The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312956 Jul 24 13:54 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
