gzip -9  /lib/modules/2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs/kernel/drivers/net/usb/sierra_net.ko

yep i applied the 2nd gzip, rebooted then plugged in the device. typed in modinfo sierra, but says No such file or directory.

But when i open the folder /root/dev/  i can see ttyUSB0 ttyUSB1 ttyUSB 2 ttyUSB3.

Which were not there yesterday.

that's a good sign, the modules look to be correctly in place, but please verify with modinfo just to be 100% sure that both show the expected version: v1.7.40

tried that but could not find module.

 Strange thing is that if i type ifconfig i now see wwan0.

And go into configure network - Ehternet, i see AirCard 320u. so it must be setup, do you think ?

I think that:

1) we are nearly done  :D
2) we should make a class action against those people who wrote  that Makefile  >:(  ;D

open a terminal, su to root, then type:
Code: [Select]
depmod -a
modinfo sierra
modinfo sierra_net
