I have an USB ADSL modem (speedtouch 330) and i was wondering if I could get the kernel config off astaro to build in USB support and try to use my modem
I think there are a few people that would find this usefull too.
If you dowload and install the pluspack you should be able to run make oldconfig to get a similar .config file. Also don't foget to run uname -a to get the release of your kernel so that you can modify the Makefile EXTRAVERSION to match your running kernel.
i didn't know there was something like a pluspack, with this it should be pretty easy [:)]
btw is ASL using a modified kernel version or is it just the standard one?
i know there are a few kernels around that have some extra security modules so just wondering if i would need that
It's probably not your stock kernel but make oldconfig should give you enough to be able to compile the right module. If you are using 4.016 you should download the 2.4.22 source and make the necessary change to the Makefile after you have unzipped it, you will also have to rename the existing /opt/src/linux directory and link the 2.4.22-linux directory to opt/src/linux, hope this helps.

it was a little work to get the kernel compiled, since i can't compile the kernel on the astaro box (got a lot of errors) i compiled them on my laptop, the only problem i get now is 'modprobe: Can't locate module n_hdlc" but i will fix that tomorrow since i'm going to bed now
since i don't have time at the moment this test will have to wait. the way i see it its not that hard but just a little work, it should be possible but i had some troubles with compiling the kernel and adding all the modules (had version problems)
when (and if) i will procede i will post my results here
If your modules don't need additional compiled kernel features all you need to do is compile the modules and have them loaded on boot. Which USB DSL modem are you using?
