Zoom USB Mini External - Model 3095

start with installing the following package:
- linux-headers-2.6.15-27-desktop-smp
-

Then, you will need to extract the tar file (right click and extract). Now, I don't know if the tar only holds the source that needs to be compiled, or it it already contains the .deb files. Supposedly, it has a .deb file, so you need to run the file as they told you.

Normally, when you have installed the kernel files, that path should automatically be given when installing. If not, try with this one: /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-desktop-smp/build/include

Let's see how far you get with this....

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

Hi carlops

I found out that the .deb package requires a 2.6.19 or newer kernal. These drivers are provided to Zoom by Linuxant. I found this out by finding the files that I copied to the hard drive and then I just said open in a new window, Kpackage came up and in the properties tab it give that info. At the bottom there was a tab that said install, another window came up, I highlited dgcmodem and put an x in the boxes for allow downgrade, check conflicts, check dependencies and test(do not install). Here's what I got, left out where package located.

Error processing packarchitecture (i.386) does not match system (am64)
result=1

I had made some notes before I found this out and here they are:

I will explain this way. New to any linux and right now I seem to be confused or loss, like when I first started with Dos. New system I just built, all new parts, so there is nothing there I need to worry about. My other experince with modems are under internal,Modem drops Connection.

I talked with my brother, who is my computer parts advisor when I need something. We had a short list of externals and decided this was the one to try. The price was the last concideration, I could buy two of these to one of the serial externals. I have other systems to convert to linux.

Hooked up the Zoom modem, looked in KDE info center and it showed the modem under usb devices-ohic controller (2). Then open Konsol type dmesg, no port assigned. So decided to try it with my windows machine, worked great. Infact downloading a file with Getright my normal avg is 2.3k and the avg increased to 2.9k, nice will see what it is over time and internet connections. Looked over the Zoom cd and checked everything, did the searches and figured it was time for some help. The spaces on the directories did not work as I expected on my first post.

Now for your post. What ever I need I have to download with my windows machine, put on a cd-rw to move to the Mepis machine, since I'm just learning the linux file system I need to be told where to put things. Also how do you know if there are sourse files? Do they have an h on the end?

I do have lib/modules/2.6.15-27-desktop64-smp under it is the following: initrd, kernel, misc, net, nvidia, updates, volatile.

NOW what

Hi

Here is what I've done, setup for dual booting and installed nstalled the 32 bit version. Found what I thought might be the header files and then tried to install the driver. Here's what I got:

Selecting previously deselected package dgcmodem.

No pre-built modules for: SimplyMEPIS-6.0 linux-2.6.15-27-desktop i686

Trying to automatically build the driver modules...
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)
Please install the 'linux-headers-2.6.15-27-desktop' package. You can install
it with the 'apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.15-27-desktop' command.

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/usr/src/linux] /usr/include/linux

WARNING: missing file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link).

First, ensure that the proper kernel source and compiler packages
from your distribution vendor and/or the community are installed.

I added the /usr/include/linux It has c header files.
