Re: Cary, Cuba, kernel 2.6.26-1-686

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Cary

Install the Debian dkms package.

Then the modem specific code for Debian 2.6.26-13 would be provided by packages:
sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon
sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source
Start the installs with:
# dpkg -i sl-modem*.deb
and the dkms support will finish the installation.

Separately I will send you a file providing some additional automation support.
