Arlene,
Compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 , linux-headers-2.6.18-5-686 ,
kernel-kbuild-2.6-18
If you have an alternate ethernet connection, these can be installed with:
$ su root
# apt-get update
# apt-get gcc-4.1 linux-headers-2.6.18-5-686 kernel-kbuild-2.6-18
Otherwise search out these packages and their dependents at
www.debian.org --> packages. Then after download and transfer to your
Debian partition, they can be co-installed with:
# dpkg -i *.deb
This will complete your general support for compiling
Then get the PCtel specific code from
from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/welcome.html, the
pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-8.tar.gz
