Thanks for help at stage 1.
<br> I now havedownloaded and unpacked a bunch of files from Smartlink
into a tmp directory in my SUSE 7.3
<br>I am now trying to go through the steps in their instructions (below)
but I don't understand ... though I learn fast, I am a complete rookie
at this sort of stuff ! I am stuck at steps 3, 4 & 5
<p>Norman<i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>1. Unpack tar.gz package file:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> $ gzip -dc slmdm-2.6.X.tar.gz
| tar xf -</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>2. 'cd' to package directory:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> $ cd slmdm-2.6.X</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>3. Review and edit (if need) 'Makefile'.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Note: Probably you will want to correct
in Makefile path to your local linux kernel header files:</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>
KERNEL_INCLUDES=/path/to/linux/include</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Another
way is to pass command line the parameter while running 'make':</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>
$ make KERNEL_INCLUDES=/path/to/linux/include ...</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>4. Run 'make' command to compile package:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> $
make</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>5. Install.</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> # make
install-usb</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1>
if you are going to use USB modem.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> It will install:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> - modem kernel modules slmdm.o (modem
core), slfax.o (fax) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc'
directory (standard linux modules' directory).</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> - hardware specific kernel module slamrmo.o
(for AMR/CNR/PCI) or slusb.o (for USB) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc'
directory (standard linux modules' directory).</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> - country settings data file 'country.dat'
into directory '/etc'.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Also it will:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> - create character tty device entry '/dev/ttySL0'
with major number 212 and symbolic link 'dev/modem'.</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> - config you '/etc/modules.conf' file
in order to provide possibility for loading the modem modules into
kernel on demand automatically by kmod, when you are going to use
them.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Note: currently you cannot use both AMR/CNR/PCI
and USB Modems.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1>6. Config modem country.</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> You can configure you current country
by using module parameters 'country' or 'country_code'. ((SPAIN))</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> Add 'options' directive line to file
'/etc/modules.conf':</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> options slmdm country=<MyCountry></font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> , for example</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1>options slmdm country=USA</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> , or use module parameter while module
loading:</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> # modprobe slmdm country=<MyCountry></font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Use 'slver -c' to see list of all supported
countries and their</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1> codes (utility 'slver' may be found in
package directory).</font></i><i><font size=-1></font></i>
<p><i><font size=-1> Note: Command ATI7 shows installed country
setting.</font></i>
<br><i><font size=-1></font></i>
