Hi,
Please help i cant get our Smartlink modem installed no matter what i do.
We are using Asterisknow which included the base installation of a Linux
distro which i believe to be redhat based.
For your info:
There is no build folder in:
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.1.gcc3.4.x86.i686
But there is in:
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.1.smp.gcc3.4.x86.i686
Before finding that out most "make" commands resulted in tons of errors.
I try changing the makefiles to include
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.1.smp.gcc3.4.x86.i686/build instead of "uname -r"
command to no avail.
I have even created a symbolic link from the default folder to the 2nd
correct folder to no avail.
I currently have slamr.ko, slusb.ko & ungrab-winmodem.ko in both "extra"
directorys of each kernel paths showing above.
If i run the make install of the slmodem package i receive a warning in
relation to a missing "amrlibs.o.cmd" from the drivers folder, indeed it
doesn't exist.
I have also tried to install a slamr package which i get told is the Invalid
module due to kernel version i believe, but i cant find a slamr download for
2.6.22.13-0.1 the latest and the one im trying is slamr-2.6.22-14-generic,
which of course fails!
I am using the http://linmodems.blah.blah/smartlink downloads page and
choosing slmodem-2.9.11-20080126 & ungrab-winmodem-20070505 as directed to
be used in ModemData.txt.
Please help, Im a noob so please tell:-
What tar's i need, where to get them, if i should do a bit of a clear out,
remove symbolic link?, what order to install new tars, any commands in
particular?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

For 2.6.22.13-0.1.gcc3.4.x86.i686 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz
Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 3.4.4
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 3.4.4
linux-headers-2.6.22.13-0.1.gcc3.4.x86.i686 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.22.13-0.1.gcc3.4.x86.i686
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
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
