Dear linmodems staffs:
I appreciate you helping us linux users to get these
!@#$%^ modems working. I, myself, am having trouble
installing an Intel 537EP modem driver. This is the
name of the modem given to me by the OEM (MadTux)
dealer.
I tried the driver at (latest version - May 2007),
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
-> intel-537EP_secure-2.60.80.0_07_05_2007.tgz
given to me in the PCLinuxOS forums.
After upacking and unzipping it, I tried to run the
make commands. I am stuck on "make install". I included
console messages for "make 537" in case the error is
there (I didn't see anything suspicious).
Attached are two text files:
ModemData.txt
a file produced by scanModem
linmodem.070517_2.txt
outputs from running
make clean
make 537
make install
The fatal error occurred in "make install" while doing
something with
/lib/modules/2.6.18.8.tex4/kernel/drivers/char/Intel537.ko
Thank in advanced for your help!

p.s. Fyi, the older driver from the intel's site
http://www.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
-> Intel 537EP PCI Drivers
-> linux
-> Modem Chipset Driver (Uncompiled) - [INTEL-537EP-2.60.80.0.TGZ]
also did not work. And the error occurred earlier in
"make 537".

Please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If your modem is mounted on an ISA card, scanModem could not access it.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed.
For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any
hardware ID or vendor

Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.

What is the make script trying to do with Intel537.ko ?
Intel537.ko is a binary file, so I can't read it. What
is that file about?
And help would be appreciated.
