Heidi, I compiled it for you. /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.ko is the full path to the compiled driver. You don't command it Without the Kyocera KPC680 attached, boot up. Check to see if the driver is loaded. $ lsmod | grep airprime would show it. $ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages & to watch kernel messages. Attach the KPC680. There may be a message that the KPC680 is recognized and the airprime driver autoloads. If not manually load it: $ sudo modprobe airprime If there is no Error message, try detecting the modem with: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf MarvS On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 6:52 PM, <adonis12490@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > MarvS - > > How do I "compile the driver"?
