[Wolves] compiling a usb modem driver

[Chris Ball]

just get a new modem?
i'm sure the US Robotics ones work if u can get hold of one, or just get a
adsl router (assuming u have access to a network)

sorry to be the bearer of bad news Mandip but the voyager 100 is not
supported by that driver (it is in the beta and needs special treatment) I
tried for a couple of weeks and offered to develop the driver but still
got no where.  An italian bloke is working on it at the moment and some
people can get it working but it's far from working for everyone.  It
won't work for me with a 2.4 kernel now I am using the 2.6 kernel I
stopped attempting to debug the voyager 100 and have moved on (in fact 1
gig broadband is turned on thursday and a new router is in the post)

the forums at eciadsl.flashtux.org will show you how the people who got it
to work did it.  Good luck ;-)
