[SCRIPT] Make module for PCTEL modems

Pctel Modems have linux drivers see this page for more information

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/package ... lcome.html

If you see the welcome page above, you will see I participated a bit in the helping of getting the driver to work, but if it were not for Porteus & community, it would not have been possible either, I tested code without being harmed.

NOTE:  This script has been written for Porteus V1.0

Copy + paste main code and save as pctel.pbuild.sh

Make it executable with: chmod +x pctel.pbuild.sh

Change into the folder and run script with: ./pctel.pbuild.sh

bash-4.1# cat pctel.pbuild
#!/bin/bash

PKG=pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-11
TMP=/tmp/pctel-$$

# download the source from linmodems page, uncomment if you want to download pctel source
#wget http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/pctel/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-11.tar.gz
#set -e

tar -zxvf $PKG*
