Read the Intel.txt
In 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current
support is provided at:

I have gone to the Intel site and saw the drivers for a lot of different
Linux programs but not Ubuntu. Not sure what to use.
Thanks
Trevor.
Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.
Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
SomeName, YourCountry Ubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
