Hi,
pctel-0.8.6.tar.gz was the first driver I downloaded, I couldn't make it 
work so I tried another drivers after that. Here are the steps i took with 
the driver you mention,

I unpacked the tarball, then i typed

./configure --with hal=i810sis

the includes were not found so I made a link to that directory as root 
user, didn't work either so I fixed it like the FAQ says

mkdir -p /usr/src/linux/include/linux
touch /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h

then I typed again

./configure --with hal=i810sis

this time with better results, after that I typed make, but then with make 
install I get unresolved symbols, so I run ./fixscript in pctel.o and 
ptserial.o to get rid of those errors. Pctel seems to work fine, I can type 
insmod pctel, but with ptserial.o I still get unresolved symbols even with 
the fix ./fixscript ptserial.o new_ptserial.o. And that's where I'm stuck, 
is there any work around or something I'm missing?

Thanks for your time
Paul
