Dear Wolfgang,
I notice you are clever and it's pretty enjoyable to work with you. I
thought my find command was correct. However I neglected to test it
before submitting it to you and this is my fault.
The $ make 536 warning you read is quite expected and has always existed
since the very beginning I inheird this code from Intel Corp. The fact
is that Intel did not provide all necessary files for a clean make with
no warning. Just for your curiosity : if you perform the command
$ ls -la coredrv/
that there are two *core.lib files with no *core.lib.cmd unlike the
other files when you will build them with make 536 and if you do the
command:
$ file <on each of these two *core.lib>
you'll see they are 32-bits ELF binary files. This is because of these
two binary files, I claim Linux 32 bits support only in my
Intel-Readme.html on my Web site.
Now back to something you are expecting : a working correctly installed
536EP driver which you can use to connect to Internet via wvdial.
First and to check everything is indeed correct you should now have an
Intel536.ko file in your intel-536-537/ directory. To even make it surer, a:
$ nm Intel536.ko
ought to say no symbols
If the above is quite correct, let us figure out why $ sudo make install
fails on your computer returning the string:
unknown distribution - no boot scripts have been installed
The answer should be in intel536-537/Intel536_inst on the shell code
line you may test outside the burden of the $ make install
First:
$ D=`ls /etc/*-release 2>/dev/null | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
$ echo $D
Next if echo $D display lsb
D=`sed -r 's/DISTRIB_ID=(\w+)/\1/' /etc/lsb-release | tr [:upper:]
[:lower:]`
echo $D should contain on you side the string "suse" as you say you run
a SUSE distribution. As it seems and as a fact from your cut'n paste,
echo $D should contain no "suse" string, nor any of the other recognized
and dealt with distributions:
mandrake, redhat, redflag, conectiva, ubuntu, debian, slackware,gentoo,
knoppix.
So please mail us what tells each echo $D above. With this information,
I shall be able to guide you aiming at your full satisfaction.
However, more mail exchanges and work need to be performed in close
collaboration with you. Currently I am on a totally dark land with your
Linux distribution. Two items to be known with your actual distribution
: where should the init scripts be installed ? Next what is its common
method to activate them at boot time ?
With my warmest regards,
Philippe

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.
