Ray,
Compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.3 kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk
Then try using the Intel-537ep package provided at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
Unfortunately, the maintainer is not active.
But this is your only tryout option.
