location of kernel source code
I am a newbie and need some help getting my sierra wireless aircard 595u working with knoppix 6. I've received some information from Sierra's website and have downloaded an updated driver and ppp script. However, they said that prior to installing the driver I need to make sure that the kernel source code is located in /usr/src/linux. How do I determine the location of the source code and if I need to change the location how do I go about doing this without messing things up?

The kernel keaders are there and should be enough to build with. However the live CD does not appear to have make installed so you will need to use Synaptic or aptitude to download it. I recommend installing the build-essential package which will install make as well as update the compiler etc. Once done you can follow the directions on the Sierra website: http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=607
The Sierra drivers appear to be on the CD already, I dont know if you need newer for some reason. As for a PPP app, perhaps it would be easier to install gnome-ppp instead of kppp. This thread might also help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454596
I would install gnome-ppp first and see if it works.
Good luck.
