Hi Adr. I am deeply sorry for the tone of my mail. Fact is I was getting frustrated that I could not explain myself well to be understood. The fault was mine.
I am a neophyte to linux. My system has just the basal files. Currenly ppp is working and I can connect directly to the internet and download files. What you could really do for me is. 1. Give me the packages I need to be download install on my computer to be able to compile the shell . 2. Outline the process I would need to recompile the shell adding support for the new card.
