I have a Dell Latitude c840. It has the Intel PCtel Modem which I suppose is a Winmodem of sort.

Nayhow there is a Linux PcTel driver for it but when I try to insmod pctel I get a message that the gcc version used to compile it was v2.0 and the version used to compile the kernel in RH 9.0 was gcc version 3.0. Now that does nto make sense to me at all.

ANyhow it warns me that the module may not work correctly.

So when I run the insmod ptserial, the second module of the driver package I get unresolved symbols.

Do you think its because of the gcc version compile differences or is that unresolved symbols a seperate issue?

I wish I can get this to work :(

pctel.o probably didnt get loaded and you just thought it did... Then you got unresolved symbols on ptserial.o cause pctel.o didnt take. You have to insmod -f to get them to load if they were compiled with an earlier gcc version than what your kernel was... Good luck.

p.s. - Im just guessing. I dont know what your output said so......

YA it was just posted a little ways back on the linmodem web site. It was not there at the time of my original post so they must have realized with RedHat v9 there were issues as I had them as well.


THanks all is working now. Its nice to know a Winmodem can finally work in Linux. Real nice!!

THanks again
