Hi, first thanks for taking the time to read about my situation. Well i have an internal dial up modem that i cant install in my pc. This is my first try with a linux distro, moving from XP, but having a pc with out an internet connection is like having a car with out wheels. So im really hoping to get the modem install to completely move from windows. System: Ubuntu 10.04 Modem: PCTel HSP Micromodem 56 134d:7890 I already ran the scanmodem tool, thats why im sure about the model of the modem, i downloaded the recommended pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-10.tar.gz file but when i do: carlos@carlos-desktop:~/Desktop/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-10$ sudo ./setup checking for running kernel version...2.6.32 checking for ptserial...ptserial-2.6.c checking for gcc...4.4.3 checking for kernel gcc version...4.4.3 searching for kernel includes...found at /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build/include checking for autoconf.h.../lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build/include/linux/autoconf.h checking for asm/mach-default...** error include/asm/mach-default directory could not be found you probably need to configure your kernel, please read the FAQ about no include/asm/mach-default directory. ** compilation error please read the FAQ about reporting compilation problems and report this problem. A transcript of the build process has been saved in src/make.log. When reporting problems to the development team, please send us this file. thats what i get, the make.log file really doesnt tell my anything, its content: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I've been trying to install the modem for a couple of days now but no luck, I've been googgling and going through forum threads rebooting to ubuntu and trying, then rebooting to windows to search for more tips but nothing. I read in a thread that i must have the linux headers install but i think i do because when i do: carlos@carlos-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. carlos@carlos-desktop:~$ any help will be appreciated !!!
