instructions I have found I beleive are telling me that 'make' command (as
above) then 'make install' and that finishes the install. right, wrong, I
don't know. thnx for the help and responses so far Reid
That will usually do it, if the compilation is successful, which in this case
here, it doesn't appear to be. The error message:
linmodem-2.6.c:416: error: 'struct uart_info' has no member named 'tty'
and the fact you seem be dealing with a 2.6.27 kernel might mean this driver
code wasn't updated for the changes made in recent kernels and as such, won't
work without modification.
