Antonio,
If I read the script right, it should always prompt for the modem type if
the autodetection fails, but you can always run it manually by following
what the setup script does and substitute -manual for -auto when running
configure. Choose the "pct789" HAL as it is the most common.
Steps are:
cd src/
./configure -manual
make
Optionally you can also do:
make install
make insmod
But these are not necessary to test for compile failures. Of course you
would still need the modem installed to test that the driver actually works!
Best regards,
Robert
