I am trying to get a D-Link internal modem working. It comes with driver software as a .tar.gz file which they say can be installed after extracting using the "make install" command. But the problem is Bash says no such command.
The original post which probably was posted in the wrong thread Sad

is here http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2995&start=17

Any insights ?

Om Shanti
You in India? Maybe you know my Guru? Shri Olli Octopus?

Now then. They expect you to compile your own driver . . . the audacity of it. Did you have to solder the modem together?

The driver is probably quite small - upload it here. Please ask if you need help. Someone can then compile it for you . . . Or maybe someone will volunteer and you can contact them directly. Otherwise you need to set yourself up (extra download) to compile programs from and in Puppy . . .

Gosh . . . just remembered what happened to Olli . . . there were few fish that day you understand . . . got hungry - Guru got eaten Embarassed

I will get back with that file tomorrow.

To compile a package just download the usr_devx.sfs file from Ibiblio (Look at the puppy download page) and put it at the same location where your pup001 file is.

It includes all the tools for compiling and making applications.

For the full explanation look at the wikki: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/Compiling

I will do that a week from today.

[MU]
Thanks. I uploaded the file over to xmailharddrive.com/beta.

The file can be downloaded by login in using instructions here http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=3080

Compiling it myself is currently out of question because of difficulty in getting the 40+MB file needed.

Waiting.............. Wink

Install, maybe best is to restart the computer then (as some files are extracted to /etc).

Then run
hsfconfig

I hope I found all files the compiler created.
Here is the output, in case I oversaw something:

To compile, I had to replace "cpio" from busybox with cpio from Mandrake 9.2.

This is what i did...

STEP 1
I copied the .pup from floppy (where it was stored off the net) into /root/my-documents

STEP 2
I clicked on the .pup in the ROX file manager.
DotPup replied "File integrity OK;hfsmodem.pup
Clicked on Unzip.
Clicked "Run the installer"
Clicked "No" to "Delete the .pup?"

STEP 3
rebooted

STEP 4
opened rxvt typed "hfsconfig" result "Bash : command not found" Neutral

typed "hsfconfig"
This was the output

The version of the drivers you are trying to compile is one of the older free versions. The latest free version is 5.03.27 (the dotpup for that is available at http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2258 and the source from http://www.int21.de/conexant/).

When compiling the 5.03.27 version I had to modify the oscompat.h file in order for it to compile with newer versions of gcc --I'll get back to you on what I had to change. You may not have that problem with the hsfmodem-7.18.00.02oem.tar.gz file from your driver cd.

In order to compile the driver you will need the kernel source, I note sure if that is included with the development package for puppy.

~~~~~~~

The package provided by MU contains precompiled modules and the source for recompilation, which is probably the reason its asking you to recompile the drivers. Additionaly, I don't see the file /etc/nvram.bin. This is a key file --at least in version 5.x.x and above.

I don't think it would work, but it would be intersting to see if getting the /etc/nvram.bin (provided there is one) from MU would make a difference. Otherwise you have three options, which in order of preference are:

1. Try my dotpup - tested successfully, can be redistrubuted, no speed limitations, newer than the version you are currently trying, adequate for dialup connectivity, less features than the newer 7.x.x versions.

2. Provide me the source for your drivers and I can compile them for you. If the version 7.x.x license is restrictive I would have email the compiled drivers to you.

3. Download the kernel source and compile the newer version if you have a key or one is not required. If you require a key you will be limited to 14.4kbs until you enter it. The original license from linuxant (not sure if this is the same for yours) prevents redistribution. Linuxnant is the company responsible for current development of the conexant winmodem drivers.

NB. I'm currently working on a few other packages for puppy and may not be able to compile the drivers for you until next week.

BTW. wrt "the drivers being dangerous" see http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=19448#19448

Downloaded and installed your dotpup. Upon running the HSF/HCF modem config it told me the same thing about Linux kernel i just pressed enter and finally got the message modem successfully installed.
One more thing soon as i started the config a blue screen showed me "14f1" and "2f00" and asked me to remember these and enter them later when asked but i was never asked for it!
And i did not have to enter anything.

Now to GkDial...
I setup an account and dial... i can hear the modem dialing but finally just disconnected...
No success...
Dont know what to do. [Writing this by connecting from Win98]

And yes that DISCLAIMER was what had spooked me Wink
