Hasan, separately I'll send you a support package for your ALi Corporation SmartLink SmartPCI563 56K Modem MarvS scanModem maintainer On 3/22/07, Hasan Safarov <hsafarov@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello, Linux Community! I am using Linux for a month, therefore don't have much experience (yet). I think scanModem is saying that my linmodem supports smartlink chipset driver, and suggesting to download it by "sudo ..." commands. But I CAN NOT CONNECT to internet from Linux OS, therefore I am seeking a help from you. So could please help me, keeping in mind that I will install programs that I download from another computer. Thank you anyway, H.Safarov ============================= scanData.txt content: ============================= Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed. If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive Open a terminal and therein: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 After downloading, it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install build-essential will do all the necessary installations mentioned above. In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later: $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc After check with: $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* which should display: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
