Re: Alan Cowie, New Zealand, kernel 2.6.26-2-686

Alan,

scanModem only shows the following lines relevant:

For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-26
 may be needed to support driver compiling.


 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:

I am not very familiar with debian, but there might be a little trick
that can be done to get this going?

Regards,

Antonio
