Hi
rhcepk !
The output is clearly telling to install kernel source. I did not use Mepis linux but what i know about it is that its CD does not include kernel source and you have to download it from internet. If you are a new and dont know about kernel source that the easiest solution is that you can use kubuntu instead of Mepis and install everyting (on CD after the completion of installation) by using adept. Moreover, I am using the same modem, Intel 536EP.
In very simple words, .deb, .rpm and .gz are package types just like .exe in windows. Mepis use .deb.
Thanks

Hello,

If the installation of drive is auto-tools based then you should read the INSTALL or README file inside driver directory, as in auto tool you have following steps:

Code: Select all

$./configure 
$make 
$make install

this is the simplest version of installation using auto-tools, there are few option available, but i think the simple one will work for you.

in your pasted shell output , i am unable to find $./configure step, i think you missed that ? first make sure that you are following the correct commands in correct sequence.

thanks

Hi
nayyares !
No he did not miss any step. The 3 step of installation is;

make clean
make 536
make install

The real problem is that, he has to install kernel source.
Thanks
