    Hi,

    I'm preparing my Debian kernel-source so that I can compile my
    pctel modem driver.

    I've done the kernel-source-preparing before in RedHat, basically:

    make mrproper
    # get the configuration file ready, then
    make dep

    But when I compile my pctel modem driver, I get the "no
    modversions.h file found" error:

    $ ./configure -auto
    checking for running kernel version...2.4.25
    checking for ptserial...ptserial-2.4.7.c
    checking for gcc...3.3.4
    searching for kernel includes...found at /usr/src/linux/include
    checking for modversions.h...** error
    modversions.h could not be found
    you probably need to configure your kernel, please read the FAQ
    about no modversions.h file.

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks
