Hi all,
I have got a linux driver for my smartlink winmodem but cannot install it.
I know it works because a friend got it going before but I had to wipe my
partition and do a fresh install and need to set it up again. According to
the readme the tar.gz can be made in to an RPM and installed that way
(sounds the easiest for a newbie like me, no manual compilation of files :-)
but I get an error using the command "rpm -ta slmdm-2.7.14.tar.gz" that is
suggested in the readme. Details of the error

I am fairly sure the symbolic link mentioned does not exist (only one folder
in /lib/modules) and have no idea how to set it up. I am running Mandrake
9.2
Any help appreciated.
