| Trying to get my Alcatel modem going from this page:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/...edtouch/speedto
uch/doc-linux/howto/SpeedTouch-HOWTO-en.html?rev=1.3
What does this mean?-----
Options to allow usb support :
<M>/<*> Support for USB (CONFIG_USB)
<*> Preliminary USB device filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS)
<M> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI)
<M> UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT)
<M> OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_OHCI)
how do I get to this screen to make these options. or do they want me to
type this stuff in? Do I type in, like, <M>/<*> or do I type in Config_usb,
or what? I am a newbie so please be specific and detailed. Thx.

Do you know how to compile a kernel? If not, read the Kernel-HOWTO, available
at www.tldp.org. This is part of the `make menuconfig' configuration part
of compiling the kernel.

Redhat already supports USB in the stock kernel.

I haven't done this but..., I did look through the faqs and it looks
confuseing - as Mr Unruh has allready said USb is allready included, so
you don't need to worry about what this stuff means.
As Mr.Cameron Kerr explained this is a section from a kernel build the
<M> is a option to make usb a module in case your curious.
You should try ...
`lspci -v | grep USB` from the instructions and see what you get. If you
don't get anything you might try insmod usb-uhci or insmod usb-ohci to
load the modules. this can be set in /etc/conf.modules permenately with
a diffrent syntax. This is to make sure your Usb drivers are loaded.
Next I would jump down to installing the drivers unpack the tar ball and
build it.... After that you have to write the scripts to run the
programs etc...
Good Luck

not work... i've been reading every howto in the internet and cannot get the
driver installed properly... yes redhat 7.2 does support USB that is not the
question.. the question is do you still compile the kernel after a fresh install

on the install... ok i have a quote.... 'Linux pisses me off and makes me want to

| Try to do some readings on /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTO. It will worth the time!

An easier route
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/...en.html?rev=1.3
With Redhat 7.2 you should have usb,ppp and hdlc
so you can skip the kernel configuration.
If you ever get there the last thing you need is
ls -s /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
as pppd puts this file in a different place.
Best of luck

| Try the folloing thing while you are logged in as root:
modprobe usb-uhci
OR [I don't know wich type your USB is]
modprobe usb-ohci
modprobe acm
rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttyACM0
and than try to dail in...
