Fedora 14 - Samsung GT-B3730 driver instalation problem

Post by gogi88 »

Hey guys!

I want to use my 4G Samsung GT-B3730 usb modem on my laptop with Fedora 14 but i have
problems because the system thinks that the modes is a mass storage.

Now i found a driver for Ubuntu here:
https://github.com/mkotsbak/Samsung-...0-linux-driver

And a tutorial here:
http://armageddon421.de/?p=165#comment-230

but on the begining when i type: sh build.sh
i get this error message:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686.PAE/build: No such file or directory. Stop.


CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!?

Regards,
Gogi

But what is he/she selling? :-)
Perhaps just a desperate person, hosing all forums available with the same question?
I had the same issue with my Huawei 3G modem on my Ubuntu laptop a year ago, caused by the dual functionality of those USB devices. They also act as USB mem-sticks so they can store the Windoze drivers, so the HW recognition in Linux gets all screwed up.
I think the solution was a package called usb-modeswitch.

EDIT:
There is this:

you would post the bitwise exact same story on fora that have nothing to do with any item of the problem at hand? I admit this is a borderline case, but for spammers aiming to surpass the moderator-threshold required for dumping spam, copy-pasting from semi-related fora seems like an obvious thing to do.

Still, even if this is not a spammer, it's surely a post that has no place on this forum.

also, I guess the answer to the problem is that the OP forgot to install the correct version of the kernel modules rpm. SO

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-devel kernel-source kernel-headers
might help

Ah, good ole' yum, it says such sweet things:

Code: Select all

$ yum search buttocks
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Speaking of which, has anybody though of running Fedora14 on B3?
