I can’t publish a package for the martian modem drinver in BuildService
because of Lucents/Agere’s license.
Make sure you rebooted after a kernel update. Run these commands to install
compiler and kernel source.
zypper in -t pattern devel_C_C++
zypper in kernel-source
Configure/prepare:
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
Now compile the martian modem sources. Make sure you have the -full tarball
containing the proprietary object file.
Here’s an init script, put this in /etc/init.d/martian_modem :

This requires a config file, put into /etc/sysconfig/martian_modem :
http://pastebin.com/f580bc577
Then start / startautomatically:
/etc/init.d/martian_modem start
chkconfig -a martian_modem
and configure modem /dev/ttyS0 via YaST/smpppd/kinternet . Remember to
disable the dial tone detection. Good luck!

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Also i would like to amend something i have been playing with a couple of distro’s of linux
The Make error 2 problem was from another distro Suse didn’t recognize the make command at all.
You are probable absolutely correct.
No, please don’t do that.
Never run make cloneconfig/prepare/whatever on openSUSE for building external kernel modules.
It is not necessary and optionally will also break later builds.
Read this for clarity.

You’re right.
Well the driver doesn’t compile against the 11.1 kernel anyway.
Kind regards,
