Hi Jeff and jayjwa.

Are you guys working on Ubuntu? If so, could you please post your
experiences at this site:

<http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-modems>

We are trying there to provide of binary packs  (.deb) to other guys
which /can't/don't know how to/don't want to/ compile the drivers for
the 536ep and 537ep Intel chipsets and any help will be very very very
apreciated. The admin of the site is Stephen Pinker (aka Sepero) who
compiles the driver for the 536ep and I (Carlos Marcano - aka
chuckman78) compile the 537ep driver. Sepero builds the packages for
both of the drivers.

We would be very happy to count with as much help as possible.

Regards,

Carlos.

    Hello, Jayjwa -

    I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.26, and found the same problems!


    The attached patch seems to be working for me so far, but I am
    by no means a kernel module guy, so any feedback is welcome...

That's excellect. I figured someone that knew C won't have much
trouble. I'm building a new 2.6.26.2 right now. If it worked there,
likely it will work fine here, too. I should be able to report back in
a bit. Thanks.

Say, can I keep you handy in case any other stuff breaks? ;)
