Dear Bjorn, I know of three magic commands which entirely fitted my case and which may eventually apply to yours : $ lscpi -vvv | grep IRQ $ sudo cat /proc/interrupts $ dmesg | grep IRQ Do you eventually notice IRQ conflicts ? To forward support you, would be please be so kind as to download the latest 536EP/537EP driver and efax.zip from my Web site (URL below) ? Carefully read the Intel-Readme.html. With efax you have to: $ unzip -aa efax $ cd efax $ make -f Makefile.orig and you run the just built efax with ./efax Yours sincerely, - http://vouters.dyndns.org:8080/ Philippe Vouters (Fontainebleau/France) Le dimanche 05 juillet 2009 à 20:41 -0300, Bjorn Wielens a écrit : > I have an Intel 536EP modem that I'm trying to get working. > The drivers load, and work fine, but the modem is behaving strangely- it > is very slow to respond to commands.
