Hi all,
Let me start by saying I'm a total linux newbie. So ANY help is more
than welcome!
Can anyone tell me if the modem specified in this ModemData.txt is
able to work at all under my Fedora Core 6 installation? If so, could
anyone point out a really newbie tutorial on getting it to work? I've
tried a lot of things the last few days (most of them I don't even
understand :) ) So I appreciate any help.
Regards,
Kees.

Support type needed or chipset: Motorola
Vendor=1057 is Motorola with some service provided through
vendor=11d4 Analog Devices Inc. Drivers are available for VERY FEW
2.4.n kernels

and for 2.6.n only a Fedora 2.6.9-1.667 at

A driver is NOT available for this kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.
Motorola seems to be only providing source code to some equipment
mnaufacturers,
who may provide particular compiled Linux drivers with their products.
See details in Motorola.txt

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

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
