Did you try downloading it and installing it?

Try that:

$ mkdir axepad && cd axepad

$ wget http://www.picaxe.com/downloads/linaxepad.tar.gz

$ tar xzf linaxepad.tar.gz

$ ./LinAXEpad

You can also click on LinAXEpad from the file manager to execute the binary.

I downloaded it.

It is a .tar.gz file.

Extracted it and (Duuuuuh)

No install needed.

It just runs.

That's a switch ?

People will start thinking your lazy if you always want confirmation before doing anything.

You learn when you fail not when you succeed.

If it fails then post what you tried and how it failed.

Error text:

[c]modprobe: module ftdi_sio not found in modules.dep[/c]

So you need kernel module called ftdi_sio.

Search for file with this name: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=ftdi_sio

Bingo!

Package called “linux-dialup” contains file you need.

So let's install it.

Open terminal. To become super user type command su and press Enter key. Then type super user's password (note1: password is root if you not changed it; note2: password input is hidden, its OK) and press Enter key.

Now type command to install package mentioned above:

[c]tazpkg -gi linux-dialup[/c]

Press Enter. And if you have internet connection package will be installed from SliTaz repository.

To exit press Ctrl+D twice.

Hi hitsware,

Maybe kernel module not match kernel version? What is your output of the next command?

[c]uname -a[/c]

Re: http://www.picaxe.com/Software

Searching net, possibly you need

[c]depmod -a[/c]

after package (with kernel module) installation. And then try your [c]modprobe[/c] again. All as root user.

Re: http://www.picaxe.com/Software

@hitsware

The kernel version your running 2.6.37 is 4.0

The module package you installed linux-dialup-3.2.53.tazpkg is from 5.0-rc2

The kernel version and module version must be the same to work.

Slitaz kernel module package: linux-<type>-<kernel version>.tazpkg

The packages you install while running the 2.6.37 kernel must come from the 4.0/stable repo.

Open terminal,su to root user,connected to internet.

[c]tazpkg remove linux-dialup[/c]

[c]tazpkg clean-cache[/c]

[c]tazpkg set-release 4.0[/c]

[c]tazpkg -gi linux-dialup[/c]

This should install linux-dialup-2.6.37.tazpkg

Re: http://www.picaxe.com/Software

Still the same problem.

Thanks guys for the help,

but on a closer look at

AxePad, I don't think it

will do what I want, so I

won't spend more time on it.
