Hello,
I'm trying to get a winmodem on a gateway solo 2550 working to give to my grandmother. scanModem tells me that the best card (of the two, an internal and a PCMCIA 10/100/56k combo) is the agere LT chipset. I'm attempting to install the martian driver and I get the following error:
mary@linux-yto1:~/martian> make all
make -C kmodule/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mary/martian/kmodule'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-default/build M="/home/mary/martian/kmodule" modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.5-1.1-obj/i386/default'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.5-1.1-obj/i386/default'
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mary/martian/kmodule'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The distro is openSuSE 11, and the kernel version is 2.6.25.5-1.1-default
Thanks much.

scanModem could not identify the Support Type needed from diagnosics or archives.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3
linux-headers-2.6.25.5-1.1-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
make kernel-source-2.6.25.5-1.1-default
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
