Dear Andrew, You have tried the driver but what do you get? You need to provide more information. We do not know if you got a kernel panic? a kernel mismatch? I would recommend that you uninstall the driver that you have installed and take a different approach, ie, Download: http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/intel-536EP-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2 Carefully read the document: http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/Intel-Readme.html Then proceed to take steps to see if your modem may work. If you have downloaded the driver intel-536-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2, copy it over to your Linux partition, then extract with $ tar -jxvf intel-536-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2 $ cd intel-536-537 $ sudo make intel-536-537 $ sudo make install $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf to see if scanmodem finds the modem. Let us know how this goes. Regards, Antonio On Sun, Jun 17, 2012 at 7:42 PM, Andrew Merczynski-Hait <andrewmh20@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > SCANMODEM RECOGNIZES THE MODEM, BUT NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO.
