Dear Philippe,
your find-command does not give any output on my computer. I
nevertheless tried your suggestion, to change the occurances of
(2,6,38) to (2,6,37) in coredrv.c, locks.c and softserial_io.c .
And in fact, the $ make 536 goes through then with only a warning
WARNING: could not find
/root/Installationen/Modem-536ep/intel-536-537/coredrv/.536core.lib.cmd
for
/root/Installationen/Modem-536ep/intel-536-537/coredrv/536core.lib
and the $ make install goes through with the warning
unknown distribution - no boot scripts have been installed
However, if I follow your advices in the readme.txt, to make the
modem work
$ insmod -f Intel536.ko
$ mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1
$ ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
then no modem is detected, e.g. $ wvdialconf replies
Sorry, no modem was detected!
or if I start kppp and scan for the modem, then the computer
freezes. So at the moment I do not understand what exactly
happens.
Sincerely,
Wolfgang

Wolfgang,
In coredrv/coredrv.c which fails to compile at line 779 on your side, I do
the following:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,38)
#define DECLARE_MUTEX DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
#endif
DECLARE_MUTEX(exec_reg_sem);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistWriteQ);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistReadQ);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistShutdownQ);
The above means that if kernel is 2.6.38 or higher, the
DECLARE_MUTEX(exec_reg_sem) reads as DEFINE_SEMAPHORE(exec_reg_sem)
I might perhaps have missed that kernel 2.6.37 (your kernel version) also
needs DEFINE_SEMAPHORE.
To make sure, may I ask you to do the following on your computer:
$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include \
-exec grep DEFINE_SEMAPHORE {} \; -print
At fist glance, this find command should return matches on your system.
If I refer to your experience, all
LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,38) must be changed to
LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,37)
The changes to be brought are in files coredrv/coredrv.c, coredrv/locks.c and
coredrv/softserial_io.c
If the find command displays DEFINE_SEMAPHORE, you may change the code
yourself. You just edit those three files searching for 2,6,38 and replace
every occurence by 2,6,37. Then you tell us whether a $ make 536
now builds just as fine under your kernel version.
Thank you in advance to keep us informed.

Try the following:

This is a new problem that has arised since files were changed.
Phillipe has made some changes to the code to accomodate them.
However, they were for newer kernels. Adding CC to Phillipe so he can
make some recommendations.
Phillipe,
Wolfgang has Intel-536ep-Modem in his Notebook and want for it to run
