[bubbafatass]

i have been told that u can get a winmodem to work on linux with the rite drivers. i have a pct789 modem and got the drivers pctel-0.9.6 fom linmodems.org.
but when i try to compile the source with
./configure --with-hal=pct789
i get

configure: error: modversion.h is missing -you should configure your kernel first!

thats all well and good but i am a newbie and dont know how to do this. :confused:

i realy want to use the net in linux.

any help would be a god send. thanx in advance:)

Whenever you compile hardware drivers, you need to have the kernel source installed for your running kernel.

Some of these threads (http://linuxnewbie.org/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=258853&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) will explain exactly what you need to do.
