I tried to get rid of the previous driver attempt. When I tried to install the .tar.bz2 driver, when attempting to extract it I got this error: tar (child): intel-536-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Wvdial conf says: Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial? Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial When I had the .deb installed it didn't edit the wvdial.conf file in any way. However, the file that supposedly says the install was successful was created. I also haven't updated my system because I don't want to accidently upgrade to a kernel that is not supported by the driver.
