Re: [newbie] Resending question 2

[Tim Barnard]

When you downloaded the drivers, did the download include source code? If so, you should find a file under the directory where the source was installed called INSTALL or sometimes INSTALL.unx. Read that file to find out how to rebuild dsp.a for your kernel version. If the download did not come with source, go back to the site where you downloaded the drivers and see if source is available. The file dsp.a is a non-sharable binary. You'll likely need to recompile it for your kernel.   Tim   ----- Original Message ----- From: Solver To: Linux Newbie Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 8:35 AM Subject: [newbie] Resending question 2 Resending as HTML this time, with HUGE letters.   OK, I have clarified the fact that my WinModem is supported under Linux! I again downloaded the drivers, this time for my kernel version, it all worked nice, but now I wonder about one thing. One of the modules I insmod , refers to dsp.a file, which is also in the driver directory, but when I try to check the module with modprobe, I get an error message saying that can't find kernel version for which dsp.a is compiled. If I delete it, the module protests that he needs that file. Now, how do I deal with the .a file, inserting it, and then, finally, my modem WILL WORK! Please help me with this, as it's my best dream to get modem working, and get rid of Windows. To be specific, only leave it as a OS I use for playing games. Yes, that's true - I don't think I should get rid of this totally, for some good games are only for Windows. Solver
