    Saludos,

    Tengo un computarod dell dimension 4600, instalé suse
    9.0 y reconocio el modem un BCM v92 (de Broadcom).
    Cuando fui a configurar la conexión de internet
    resulta que no funciona. Buscando en diversos foros
    encontré lo siguiente:

    Hi If you are visiting this tread its maybe because
    you have been all around the net trying to find
    answers to your problem installing a BCM V.90 56k
    Modem. I hope this helps you and also hope some reply
    wheter it works for you or not.

    1.-The very First thing you have to do is to install
    your kernel Sources provided in your 3rd. CD. Or
    download it from the net and then install it. You can
    find what your Kernel version is by typing uname -r in
    the terminal window.

    2.-Once the Kernel Sources instaled download the file
    from the link
    http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9789/BCMSM/BCMSM-3.4.19-6.src.rpm
    .

    This driver is for RedHat 7.2/7.3 so we need to make
    the rpm for our kernel version.

    3.- Open a terminal window, type su and when asked for
    password type de root password of your system. Move to
    the directory were you saved the uncompressed files
    and type rpmbuild --rebuild BCMSM-3.4.19-6.src.rpm
    (Don't worry about the error messages at this step ).

    4.- Move to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS (cd
    /usr/src/RPM/SPECS), type chmod 666 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec
    this is to change the permissions of the file allowing
    us to modify it.

    5.-Open the spec file BCMSM-3.4.19.spec with any text
    editor i used Kwrite, and replace all the references
    to 2.4.18-27.8.0 with your kernel version, in mi case
    it was 2.4.21-0.13mdk (The resulting of uname -r),
    then save the spec file with the changes you made
    (There must be 6 replaces).

    6.- Make sure the symbolic link /dev/modem doesn't
    exist (ls -l /dev/modem), if it exists remove it by
    typing rm /dev/modem and answer yes when asked to
    remove. (This worked for me, i only had my BCM modem
    attached to my computer, if you have another modem be
    carefull.)

    7.-Type rpmbuild -bb --target i686 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec
    while you are at /usr/src/RPM/SPECS. If all goes fine
    by now you must have the fileBCMSM-3.4.19-6.i686.rpm
    in the path /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 (ls -l
    /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686)

    8.- Move to /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 and type rpm -ivh
    --replacepkgs BCMSM-3.4.19-6.i686.rpm, you will get
    something like this:
    Preparing...
    ########################################### [100%]
    1:BCMSM ###########################################
    [100%]
    ...thats it.
    type ls -l /dev/modem and you have to see something
    like this lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 sep 8 17:47
    /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySM0. If you have it but it is
    backgrounded in red there must be a problem. In my
    system /dev/modem appears colored in light blue and
    /dev/ttySM0 in yellow. Now use kppp to setup your
    internet connection and thats it.
    Again, I hope this helps you but i assume no
    responsability of anything taht could go wrong with
    your system, i repeat this worked for me but its not
    for sure it will work for you. I am posting this
    because it has been quite frustating having so many
    questions and no body answering them and want to share
    the little bit i learned the hard way from here and
    there. by the time i posted this my tread was visited
    40 times and no replys from no body. If you find
    something wrong in this tutorial let me know.

    Intente ahcer lo mismo pero no me funciono en
    suse.obviamente que tuve en cuenta que en suse algunas
    cosas son distintas. En mandrake 9.1 que lo tengo
    instalado tambien si me funciono.

    ¿Puede alguien ayudarme a recompilar correctamente el
    archivo .src.rpm? gracias
