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 aruran --- Rick Stevens <rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > K Aruran wrote: > > Hai all, > > > > First of all excuse me for emailing this problem > to > > the fedora-list.
