This is the most hassle-free way of distributing source-level drivers for linux. If the driver is not distributed as a patch, then the author will give instructions on how to insert the driver code into /usr/src/linux, a terribly painful process. If you tell me what specific modem brand you are trying to compile the driver for, I might be able to give you more detailed help. In fact driver might already be available in the kernel source code, and all you have to do is select it as a module during "make menuconfig" P~Manalastas _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
