tom, Kernels 2.4.2 are now ancient, and will not support much of the current/newer hardware. If you are just beginning Linux , you will be much better served doing an install with some current Redhat, its Fedora cousin, Ubuntu hardy release , etc, with kernels in the 2.6.22-25 range. But an Intel 536ep driver is a the correct match for your modem hardware.
