SAGEM FAST 840 modem (eagle-usb ADSL modem)

[Pet]

Hello
I have SAGEM FAST 840 eagle-usb modem
I tried to configure my internet connection.
I have downloaded the driver from http://www.sagem.com/support/site/driver/Fast8x0_3-0-6.tgz and followed the instructions http://www.sagem.com/support/site/livret/gu_Linux_en.pdf . When I tried to ./configure I have received the error message "KERNEL-SOURCES CANNOT BE FOUND".  But the directory /usr/src/ exists and within it ERNEL-SOURCE 2.6.18 as well (I have installed the optional package from the Vector 5.8 standard edition).

I have searched on the internet and downloaded the EAGLE-USB 2.3.3 TAR.BZ2 and the     eagle-usb-1.9.9.1.tar.bz2 from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81588&package_id=83540 and tried to install these.  I still get the error message "KERNEL-SOURCES CANNOT BE FOUND". 

I have searched on the Internet for the error message itself and found this: http://forum.freespire.org/archive/index.php/t-3267.html with a freespire specific advice.  What do I have to do in Vector to get rid off this error message? What am I doing wrong that the ./configure and ./make scripts cannot find the kernel sources?  Are they somewhere else in Vector than they are in other distributions? Thanks.

Whats does this command say?

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep kernel-src

It says:

kernel-src-2.6.18.5-i586-3vl58

Hmmm.. that is kind of weird. I'll try building the drivers here and see if I get the same problem.

There does indeed seem to be a problem with the sources. They are also pretty outdated, latest release was in 2005 and a lot has changed in the kernel since then.

I'm trying to adapt a Debian patch for this source and see if it will work. Will let you know as soon as I have something usable.
