Hello,
I have recently installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 _Woody_ on
my Compaq Presario PC which has Celeron 800 MHz Processor,
64 MB RAM, USB Keyboard and Conexant HCF 56 K internal
Winmodem (unfortunately). I have chosen the kernel flavour
`bf2.4' to get ext3-FS. Now my problem is how to use that
HCF winmodem under Debian? I have downloaded a driver for
that modem which is in this format:
``hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02090200.tar.gz'' and extracted
the main files.But after that though ``make install'' seems
to work, ``hcfpciconfig'' does not do what it is supposed to
do and gives error. The following is what appeared after I
ran the ``hcfpciconfig'' command :
hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02090200# hcfpciconfig
Linux HCF controllerless modem drivers, version
0.98mbsibeta02090200
WARNING: this is an EXPERIMENTAL BETA VERSION of the HCF
drivers for Linux.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! See the file /usr/lib/hcfpci/LICENSE

This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for
your system:
Distribution: Debian-3.0
Kernel arch: i686
Kernel version: linux-2.4.18-bf2.4
Trying to automatically re-compile the modules..
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be
installed)
Where is the linux source build directory that matches your
running kernel?
[/usr/src/linux] /usr/src
WARNING: missing file /usr/src/include/linux/autoconf.h
The cause of this problem is usually a missing or
misconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or
symbolic link).
First, ensure that the proper kernel source and compiler
packages
from your distribution vendor and/or the community are
installed.
The Linux kernel can then be reconfigured by running "make
menuconfig"
under the kernel source directory (usually /usr/src/linux).
Verify that the proper options for your system are selected,
and that CONFIG_SMP ("Symmetric multi-processing support"
under
"Processor type and features") is disabled, as this driver
is
presently designed to work on single-processor machines.
Then compile and install your new kernel (for more
information about
this procedure, see the README file under the kernel source
directory),
reboot the system using the new kernel, and re-run
"hcfpciconfig".
------------------------------------------------------------
------------
Now the messages are not graspable by me. Is it due to the
``bf2.4'' kernel flavour? Please help me in this regard.
* My /usr/src directory contains these:
kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/
kernel-source-2.4.18/
kernel-source-2.4.18.tar
rpm/
* The file ``autoconf.h'' is under /usr/include/linux/
directory.
Thanking You,
Parijat P. Pal
