Attempting to connect to the internet via 56 kbps dial-up connection having
recently installed Suse 9.0 Professional. I have downloaded a linux driver
from modem manufacturer and installation instructions (
http://www.smlink.com/main/down/linux_instructions.txt ) but alas I am
struggling with "Makefile". Would one of you guys be good enough to take a
look at these instructions specifically paragraph 3 and offer this newby
some simple instructions on what to do to give effect to this: "Review and
edit (if need) "Makefile". Note: Probably you will want to correct in
Makefile path to your local linux kernel header files:
KERNEL-INCLUDES=/path/to/linux/include" I am eager to kiss good bye to the
blue scren of death. Many thnx.

Remove newby from my email address to reply directly.

Install the kernel-header package and probably the kernel sources as well,
fitting your installed kernel (probably the default, see with `uname -a`).
They will end up somewhere under /usr/src, I hope. I'm not running SUSE
anymore.
Then, edit the makefile from the vendor of your modem to point to the
include directory (probably /usr/src/linux/include).

Rationale: this is a kernel driver which needs at least the kernel headers
matching your installed kernel in order to be compiled.

CU,
Uli
PS: No, I haven't read the instructions from the above URL.

What do I actually have to do to do this......

Go into Yast/Yast2 and search for kernel packages, then install the ones
matching your kernel version:

If that does not make sense to you, it's probably better for you to go to a
Linux-user group meeting nearby and get some hands-on introduction. They
will love to install your winmodem ;->>>

BTW: It's considered rude to quote all text of a posting. And please stay
