Yes, indeed, you can repay us by attentively redeading my litterature on
the Intel modems subject at
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/Intel-Readme.html and give us your
feedback upon it.
What we do expect are your detailled impressions about this document
clarity and informations completeness.
Post-scriptum : if you are looking for informations on either Linux,
Unix, OpenVMS or Windows, you may refer to another side of my Web site
at http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/
If, even better, you mail me with technical subjects I can study and
document, you'll make the worldwide IT community happy.
Yours truly,
Philippe

Thanks for the swift reply Antonio.
Well originally I had a conexant chipset for a HCF modem that the linuxant group had drivers for, however those drivers ONLY worked on pre 3.x kernels so they broke when I upgraded. Dev team from Linuxant has informed me they are aware of the API break in the driver for the newer kernel and say they should fix it sometime soon. Meanwhile I dug up the Intel modem you see below to try and get it to work.
So short answer I never should have upgraded!! :)

Patrick,
I am unsure if that modem in particular is served by Phillipe's
driver. IT does not seem to be a true INTEL 537 modem :(
However, there was a recent update to the driver since it was failing
to build up in Ubuntu and it was working fine in Fedora 15. Did you
make sure that you got the latest driver available from Phillipe's
website?
Oops sorry, you did get the latest one. Maybe Phillipe can comment
here to make sure that maybe something went wrong, or that it may be
specific to 537 modem, since the driver also works with 536 Intel
based modems.
Regards,
Antonio
BTW,
since you have experience with linux since the Red Hat days, did you
get to use this particular modem before? If you did and the drivers
worked, I see no reason why the modem should not work with the newer
kernels.

So I visited http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/ and heeded Philippe's note to=
:
If you execute a 3.x.y kernel, download:

el/intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_11.tar.bz2>
...and continued to untar and try to build.
Issuing make clean and make 537 seem to work with a warning:
