Re: Intel 537EP - driver loads but cannot use modem

Chris,

After objdump'ing intel-536-537/coredrv/537core.lib on my Linux, it
ought to appear the code is all there ready to work correctly for your
board. The only matter which I am concerned with is if your PCI bus
fulfills the hardware limitation of the chip I mentioned in both my
mails to you AND my Intel-Readme. If you look carefully at your board,
it should contain such a component.

Bjorn,

Good question -- the board in question that I am dealing with does indeed say "537EPG" on it, not "537EP".
