put apostrophes ' or quotes " around the string following grep.

that should escape the spaces, which grep sees (but not only grep) as separate commands.
Next, If this is indeed the modem device, the information here is good, because it shows you pciid's (pci identification codes) for the device. Which includes Manufacturer and Model.
vendor ID:0x14f1 (Manufacturer = vendor) "14f1 Conexant Systems, Inc."
sub device ID:0x2075 (model number code = sub-device) "not listed, bad luck!"
You can look these up at pciids.com
they can be found here...
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids (plain text)
and here...
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ (home page)
You may be able to get it to work with an application called ...
ndiswrapper. But I have never used it and you may be best to start a new thread for that question.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page

you should be able to get a mandriva .rpm package to match your Version of mandriva here...
I would check your installation cd/dvd first, with the software manager in MCC (Configure Your Computer).
If not there, try online...
http://rpm.pbone.net
Here are some that may match...
64bit, http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...7.1.x86_64.rpm
32bit, http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...007.1.i586.rpm
check to make sure you get the list of dependents.
you can check the list against your system with...
rpm -qs "package-name", like this...
Code:
rpm -qs ndiswrapper
package ndiswrapper is not installed
(my system) but do this for all the dependents to be sure the package will work.
I would check your installation cd/dvd first
EDIT the ndiswrapper package will try to use a M$ Windoes driver for the device, see how you go.
Regards, and all the best, Glenn |
Hello
-Thank you all for your spending time to help me,i did some more work,and,
eventually i concluded that,this (current) issue,is not a real problem,because,after arrival of newer versions,these kinds of problems,belong to the past! (besides to all mentioned before,i typed some other commands,which proved to me that this software has been defective),and
i should find and install newest version of Linux distributions.Thus i am going to mark this thread as solved.
These are some of what i have done today:
