Dear Ryan, Your case does NOT look desperate at all. efax looks to be very correctly responding. However should I suggest you to download my latest modifications from http://vouters.dyndns.org:8080/Intel/intel-536-537_2009_06_22.tar.bz2 The very same as Tapan Chugh in India, the 537 driver does conflict on your system with the 8250_pci kernel driver which cannot be unloaded. This 8250_pci driver allocates the serial ports for its own use early in the Linux boot process. The problem with this 8250_pci driver is that it knows nothing from an Intel 537 modem. And the most difficult thing I have to solve is how to correctly to get rid of this conflicting driver without being compelled to rebuild the Linux kernel without 8250_PCI support. Providing you download the latest above driver source code, you would, from your user account, type in the following commands: $ tar -jxvf intel-536-537_2009_06_22.tar.bz2 $ make clean $ make 537 The above command ought to give only one warning. $ sudo make uninstall $ sudo make install You should then check whether the driver correctly installed with: $ dmesg | tail -f You can check whether the 8250_pci driver correctly got unregistered by the Intel 537 driver with: sudo /sbin/lspci -vvv and perhaps with: $ grep serial /var/log/messages | tail -f If everything goes as expected you shouldn't read "serial" any longer with $ lspci -vvv as the kernel driver for your 537 modem board. Providing you see everything goes well as supposed it should, you may retry the efax command. You may further recheck with $ dmesg | tail -f Yours sincerely, -- http://www.linkedin.com/pub/philippe-vouters/a/456/a87 Philippe Vouters (Fontainebleau/France) > Ok. > > First of all, sorry I've been away for so long, I was away for the most of > the weekend and only really got back here to find that you guys had left me > a load of emails.
