I get error "could not determine a proper UTS_RELEASE" I've attached The
scanModem and the configure script. I've tried to configure all of the 2.6
compatable sources in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/ with no
luck. May be some one can sugest a work around or a patch for the script.
I'm on Gentoo with kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r5.
Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.
Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
SomeName, YourCountry
This is kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r5
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

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:

# Robert Thornburrow <robert.thornburrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 09/04/2004
#
# Modified to detect type of tty_struct.count for Fedora Kernels
# Robert Thornburrow <robert.thornburrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 21/04/2004
#
# Modified to cope with 2.6 kernels. Also removed -DAUDIO_ROUTING from via686a
# and sis builds, as the libraries are missing the necessary symbols. They did
# appear in 0.9.7-6, but not in 0.9.7-9, upon which this build is based.
# Robert Thornburrow <robert.thornburrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 30/03/2005
#
# Modified to cope with SuSE 9.3 kernel source includes. The asm/mach-default
# directory is not under /lib/modules/`uname -n`/build, instead we must revert
# to /usr/src/linux. Thanks to Jeff Trull for this.
# Robert Thornburrow <robert.thornburrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 22/07/2005
#
# Modified to cope with "lspci -n" in Debian Sarge. This does not output the
# word "Class" in the second column and throws the auto detection out. Thanks
# to Martin Campbell for reporting this.
