pctel modem driver/Redhat 7.2

[lohfink]

I am keen to get my pctel 56k modem working. I d/l a driver file (pctel-o.9.0) and a set of instructions. I'v reinstalled Redhat with the kernel sources.I've done the 'with-hal' bit and the 'includes' bit.
It gets past 'modversions.h' ok, then looks for kernel 2.4.0 and tells me I need to install it. I'm out of ideas-any suggestions would be appreciated. :confused:

What kernel version does Redhat 7.2 use?

The kernel source is installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.# and a symlink from that directory to /usr/src/linux?

Does it specifically ask for 2.4.0? Are the pctel drivers only for a certain kernel version or will they work for all the 2.4 series?

What is the exact error message?

[lohfink]

My version is running 2.4.7-10 kernel.
The readme says the driver is for kernel 2.4.x.
The error is as follows:
'configure:error:You should have linux kernel 2.4.0 installed.'
Do I need to configure the kernel?

[mdwatts]

The kernel source in /usr/src/linux is the 2.4.7-10 kernel?

Did you install the kernel source from the cd's or download from www.kernel.org? (http://www.kernel.org?)

[lohfink]

I have two sources, it appears:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10 and
/usr/src/linux2.4
I am definately running kernel 2.4.7-10.
Both kernels were installed from the cd.
(I've tried the '--with-kernel-includes' using both paths)

[mdwatts]

Are they separate source directories or is one symlinked to the other?

ls -l /usr/src/linux2.4

Maybe you need to recompile the kernel to include ppp support etc.

Have you tried a Google search for pctel etc. to see if others have had the same problem and hopefully a possible solution?

check this site:

It is a faq for the PCChips 810LMR that uses a PCTEL modem (AMR) and it has all you need to install it in linux.
