Re: 536EP Driver Attention: Jacques Gerry USA Kubuntu 6.10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Gerry,
Can you please tell me the result of the following command:
ls /etc/*-release
If nothing is found, what is the result of
ls /etc | grep -i release        (  | is vertical bar usually on key \ )
If still nothing found, what is the result of
ls /etc | grep -i ubuntu

The command    sudo make install   fails  because it expects something
like   /etc/kubuntu-release  or  /etc/ubuntu-release

If none of the three ls gives any result, then please check
that you have a directory
/etc/init.d
and a series of directories such as
/etc/rc2.d   with more values for this "2", normally 0 through 6.
If the answer is positive for init.d AND for rcN.d, then

sudo touch /etc/ubuntu-release

cd to your  intel-536EP-2.56.76.0

and restart the command sequence with
sudo make install
which should now complete without error.

sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf   too will work, etc...

More details below may be of interest to experts.

Are you using the software from:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/
All is obsolete for 2.6.17-10-generic
Marv,
What do you mean by all?
All files in .../Philippe.Vouters ??
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00246.html
Gerry uses that specific file,  intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_19_01_2007.tgz
Let us remember though that nobody supports Philippe who therefore does not have a 536 modem.

Here one should not that Gerry unfortunately has no alternate to hand copying.

At the last level I asked Gerry to run a sequence of commands and store the output in a file arbitrarily named worklog.txt I have added below to his mail, with a leading === identifier, the suggested commands. To understand why these commands, a look at the double thread in the archive may be necessary.
This worklog leads straight to the problem when it reaches make install.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.



Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
