Yes I know that it is fairly old. The thing is I have
a new type of PCTel Modem (688T type)
the author of drivers for this type of modem Robert
Thornburrow said that he has a
working driver for 2.2.26 kernel. He asked me to
install the 2.2 kernel and then try his
driver. Thereby he asked me that I could provide some
details regarding the chipset and
other valuable info that could help him developing a
driver for 2.4 and 2.6 kernel.
If you know in anyway I can install the 2.2 kernel Or
any other way to find out chipset
details as such please let me know
I am fairly new to kernel compiling. So I couldn't get
the idea regarding modules and
configuration. So can you please help to install the
2.2 kernel.
If possible can you just point out the steps that I
have to follow
thanks
