Andrew,
Respect the syntax. Perform:
$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`
if you do not have a directory under:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`
this means you need to have the kernel-devel package installed.

Okay, so far I have opened the .tar.bz2, and then I tried Phillipe's
suggestion.
However I get an error message: cp: cannot create regular file
'/lib/modules/uname -r/build/include/linux/autoconf.h': No such file or
directory.
I tried Marvin's method for moving autoconf.h and it worked, but is that the
right place to put it for compiling the driver?

Enter it as `uname -r` :)
Otherwise you would have to type out all the numbers in your kernel

You are correct. intel-536EP-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2 is only
tarred, but not bzip2 compressed, though possible our System is
automatically uncompressing during downloading, through I doubt it.
Phillipe, please check
It does open merely with:
$ tar xf intel*.tar.bz2
into folder intel-536-537/
Afterward you will still have to install the package autoconf,
which the makefile depends on, and Philipe will have to help too.

I also haven't updated my system because I don't want to

Thank you for your help.
I am not getting any errors like a kernel panic, the modem is
just not recognized by anything. However, Scanmodem does recognize
it.
Nothing else will though.
Before I posted this I did a lot of Google searching and I think
I already tried your recommended method, and ran into problems
because of the fact that ubuntu puts the autoconf.h file in a
non-standard directory. I will try again and see what happens
(and in case I had a slightly different file or something),
however if it still doesn't work is there any way to fix the
ubuntu issue, or will it be necessary to
install a different distro?
Thanks,

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.
b
z2
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.

Antonio
