CLModem-0.3.0.tar.gz--- Help, problems with this driver

[alkalinelito]

You can find that driver at: http://www.linmodems.org/#open
Where it says "CL-MD5620DT"
Ok, yes, My modem is Cirrus CLM Data Fax Voice ( CL-MD5620DT) , And this is the driver CLModem-0.3.0.tar.gz that is
suposed to work with it, "This is CLModem-0.3.0, a Linux kernel module driver for the Cirrus Logic(Ambient) CL-MD5620DT
DSP-based controller-less modem", my modem is vendor id 1013 and device id 4000, and in the drivers talks about the same
things. So im pretty sure that's the driver i need to use

Everything goes well until i need to type "make" it says it will create a kernel module "clm.o" ,
It says:
"First you must create a character special device file to access the modem, so you should type: ' mknod /dev/clm c 121 0'
Next you must load the CLM module '/sbin/insmod clm.o'
When i do this '/sbin/insmod clm.o' it says 'clm.o' does not exist ,
What can I do ?
help
thanks

Did you do create the character device mknod /dev/clm c 121?

Also have a look to see if clm.o was created. You could try insmod /path/to/clm.o. Does the readme/install instructions tell you to copy clm.o to your module directory? You can try using /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/char.

[alkalinelito]

Nope. isn't working,
i think the problem is that clmo.o isnt created

[bdg1983]

Have you checked the CLModem-0.3.0 directory to see if the clm.o module is there?

Any other error messages?

What step are involved to create this module? mknod /dev/clm c 121, ./configure, make and make install?

I hope someone can help me
thanks in advance

Just in case... I'm running Red Hat 7.1 , Kernel: 2.4.2-2

[bdg1983]

I'm afraid I don't see any errors there.

Any other files in the clmodem-0.3.0 directory that contains the errors generated from 'make'?

Maybe post the installation instructions here so we can have a look. Just the pertinent parts.

[alkalinelito]

isn't this "make: *** [clm.o] Error 1" an error ?

[alkalinelito]

Ok, nevermind, Thanks anyway
THe DRiver does not work with Kernel 2.4.x

Did you try to use wvdial, because this is a great program for ppp. Run this program(i think it must be root), and he will detect your modem, load the correct modules and make it work.
Good Luck. :)
