I see this \begin{quote} WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see full details build your kernel with: 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' \end{quote} Could it be that the machine is 64 bit. I have tried to do as the INSTALL says to do x86_64 platform. ---------------- martian_modem is a 32-bit application. It can be built on x86_64 the way prescribed, but you need 32-bit development environment for that. Second option is to use binary built on i386.
