Hi: I am trying to install the intel 537 modem under Ubuntu Oneiric. I am following the linmodem, Philippe Vouters and other guides. I have experience with Agere and Conexant modem but I need to install a intel 537. I have the intel 537 code, it was downloaded from: <http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_11.tar.bz2> I solved the problem with Ubuntu distributions about the autoconf.h missing. My solution is: ln -sf /lib/modules/3.0.0-16-generic/build/include/generated/autoconf.h /lib/modules/3.0.0-16-generic/build/include/linux/autoconf.h Also, I edited the 537_inst script and modified the "Kernel Version" detection for to accept the version 3.x, see: 2.6* | 3.*) KMS="ko" # Kernel Module Suffix ;; The code was compiled successfully BUT the wvdialconf don't detect my modem. I edited the wvdial.conf with the requirement options manually and executed the wvdial BUT the system is halted (freezes). I tested with other version with the same result; they are like: intel-536EP-537EP_2012_01_04.tar.bz2 intel-536EP-537EP_2012_02_29.tar.bz2 I put all actions, results and the ModemData.txt content below. Is incredible but I am using Windows for to navigate and Linux for to work. The solution? Restarting and restarting... :-( Please, any suggestion is welcome...

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: linux-headers-3.0.0-16-generic If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed packages.
