The marriage of Dhiraagu and the GNU/Linux Kernel

Alright, so the other day, I finally thought- I'll give the ADSL modem a try. The Aztech 208U modem has an eagle-usb chipset that is supported by the linux kernel once the driver is installed.

The eagle-usb driver supposedly does the job...but upon configuring I end up getting walled up against these messages.

====================
distribution detected Debian

dhcp support dhclient

pppd support yes
pppoa support yes
pppoe support yes

install eagleconnect (tcl/tk frontend) yes

generate documentation no
===================

warning: kernel-sources version is different from the current kernel.

warning: current gcc version is not the same as the one used to
compile the running kernel.
- current gcc version: 4.0.2
- gcc version used for kernel: 3.4.5

=================


The implication? Now I have to use 'my precious...' bandwidth to download the kernel source (2.6.9-10) and then use GCC-4.0.2 to re-compile the kernel from source.
I do wonder. Using a non-Microsoft product in collation with any Dhiraagu Data Service is the equivalent of 'undesireds' and 'blacks' trying to become the Sonnenkinder of herr Hitler's Fatherland...damn the discrimination

What would follow, only the Lordy himself will know. For now, I'll just concentrate on entertaining myself with the comical theatrics of our countrymen and politicians.
