Hi volunteers, I'm an Ubuntu newbie and would appreciate if anyone will help me to make use of the file attached... Basically I'd like to set up dialup internet connection from HP ProBook 4710s. --- WBR, Valera

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.4 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. 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.
