Gerry,
Can you please tell me the result of the following command:
ls /etc/*-release
If nothing is found, what is the result of
ls /etc | grep -i release ( | is vertical bar usually on key \ )
If still nothing found, what is the result of
ls /etc | grep -i ubuntu
The command sudo make install fails because it expects something
like /etc/kubuntu-release or /etc/ubuntu-release
If none of the three ls gives any result, then please check
that you have a directory
/etc/init.d
and a series of directories such as
/etc/rc2.d with more values for this "2", normally 0 through 6.
If the answer is positive for init.d AND for rcN.d, then
sudo touch /etc/ubuntu-release
cd to your intel-536EP-2.56.76.0
and restart the command sequence with
sudo make install
which should now complete without error.
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf too will work, etc...
More details below may be of interest to experts.

Are you using the software from:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/
All is obsolete for 2.6.17-10-generic
Marv,
What do you mean by all?
All files in .../Philippe.Vouters ??
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00246.html
Gerry uses that specific file, intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_19_01_2007.tgz
Let us remember though that nobody supports Philippe who therefore does
not have a 536 modem.
Here one should not that Gerry unfortunately has no alternate to hand
copying.
At the last level I asked Gerry to run a sequence of commands and store
the output in a file arbitrarily named worklog.txt
I have added below to his mail, with a leading === identifier, the
suggested commands. To understand why these commands, a look at the
double thread in the archive may be necessary.
This worklog leads straight to the problem when it reaches make install.

Editing ` /etc/wvdial.conf' .
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
