Hi all (first timer here)
 
I've downloaded and compiled the shiny-new 2.6.0 stable kernel. It works like a charm, except for my modem. I have a PCTel HSP56 Micromodem that won't work in any way with this new kernel. It worked perfectly under 2.4.22 (the last kernel I had installed) with the last PCTel Linux drivers around (0.9.6). But now with all the changes of the new kernel, it won't compile. These are the last lines of the error msg I get with 'make':

If there's any help available, please tell me. This is the only thing preventing me from using Linux again full-time. Thanks in advance!
