insmod pctel.o

insmod pctel.o

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,

I managed to get my modem module pctel.o compiled.  Then, I did some searching on the net.  I found instructions for getting the module to work by someone who claimed that he successfully got the pctel hsp 56 K PCI modem to work under Linux.  His instructions say to put pctel.o in to '/lib/modules/net/pctel.o'.  I did that, then changed in to the just mentioned directory, and did 'insmod pctel.o'.  I then got some unresolved symbols.  I tried to reroute the output from insmod into a file to send to the list, but for some reason the output was displayed and the output file was created, but it was blank.  Could someone please tell me how to resolve symbols in the kernel? If it would help to see the output of insmod, then could someone please tell me how to reroute the output properly? I did 'insmod pctel.o >errors.txt' to reroute the output.  Thanks for any help in advance.
Greg

Greg -
capture your output like this:

insmod pctel.o >errors 2>&1

You want to capture 'stdout' and 'stderr' both.

Check to see if you adde support for the module in your kernel. For
instance, if you are adding a module for a network card, but there is not
network support you will get unresolved symbols. Same goes for sound
support.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.

Hi!

  Sometimes depmod -a should be executed before new modules wil work.

The kernel has network support compiled.  I'm just now wondering however if maybe I should add support for some of the serial port options like the option for non-standard serial support.
