Driver for asdl usb modem Prolink 8000

[thessa]

Hi I'm a total newbie to Linux, just embarked on installing FC3 in my PC' needed some help in installing the Prolink 8000 hurricane ADSL modem in FC3, was wondering if you can provide me with some advise. I've followed the instruction from this site

http://www.skynet.ie/~caolan/TechTexts/ZyXEL-630-11-HowTo.html.

Managed to install ppp,pppoe and linux usblib but could not install linux-atm and Amedyn driver, got the following error:

for linux-atm

Code: Select all

[b][root@localhost cxacru]# make
cd init && make clean
.
.
.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thessa/Device/cxacru/init'
cd firmware && make
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: firmware: No such file or directory
make: *** [CX_FIRMWARE] Error 1[/b]

for the amedyn driver, i got

Code: Select all

[b][root@localhost amedyn]# make

.
.
install -c amedyndbg.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/kernel/drivers/usb
depmod -a
make[1]: depmod: Command not found

make[1]: *** [install] Error 127

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thessa/Device/amedyn/module'

make: *** [AME_MODULE] Error 2[/b]

My question is :

Is the problem caused by an outdated kernel version in the driver?

If yes, how can I access my kernel version in FC3 and install the correct one?

Sorry for questions like this cos I'm totally fresh on Linux.

Appreciate for any form of reply.



Regards



Victor.

Hello,

I just did a quick google search and the first site I was stumbling over was this:
http://www.chipweb.de/dsl/index.php?menu=2&id2=72

When you scroll down to he bottom there is a little comment that sounds a little demotivating: "Linux support: No". Even the manufactures website FAQs at http://www.fida.com/faqs/fh8k.htm saying that.For some reason I cannot access the skynet.ie link you provided.

I'am unable to find any information that amedyn driver would support your modem. Where did you find and download it?

the amedyn driver uses the same chipset as the Hurricane 8000, as they are derived from the alcatel family, the link can be found at fida.com itself under download, data communcation, under Hurricane 8000 and look at unix - I hope we can explore further from there.
