3. INSTALLATION
Prerequisites:
1. root access
2. bash shell to run install scripts
3. an Intel536ep modem
4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.
and programming development tools installed as well
6 steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 536
6. Type: make install
Please examine the Intel536_inst script if you have a different distribution.
The Intel536 driver registers itself as character device
major number 240, minor number 1.
ATTENTION: if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.
Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.
0. log in as root.
1. insmod -f Intel536.o
2. you can start "hamregistry" at this point if you wish.
3. rm /dev/536ep
4. mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number is)
5. ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
6. start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.
7. see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct
country settings.
Ja se, dakle, ulogujem kao ROOT, i otpakujem fajl (prvi put sa nevedenom komandom iz terminala, a drugi put - desni klik na fajl, open with... File Roller. U oba slucaja je lepo otpakovao).
Onda sam, prema uputstvima, podesio da mi direktorijum u kojem mi je otpakovano sve, bude radni direktorijum i ukucao komandu make clean. Nesto se desi, komp nesto odradi (mrzelo me da prepisujem). Ali kada ukucam drugu komandu, make 536, javlja se sledeca greska:
Modul precompile check
Current running kernel is: 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
/lib/modules... autoconf.h does not exist
please install kernel source
make *** [check] Error 1
Dakle:
1. Sta je Kernel Source?
2. Zasto ga nije bilo na instalacionim CDovima ako je toliko vazan (prilikom instalacije, instalirao sam kompletan software od Fedore)?
3. Gde mogu da ga skinem?
4. Kako da ga instaliram, ili bar gde mogu naci uputstvo, slicno ovom koje sam dobio uz modem?
