Hello,
I have an Intel 536EP modem I would like to be able to use with linux. I
have kernel 2.6.3 installed. I notice that the modem is detected by the
system and several files in the kernel source tree have make reference
to it...
#grep -rn '536EP' /usr/src/linux-2.6.3 yields
Binary file arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin matches
Binary file drivers/pci/built-in.o matches
drivers/pci/pci.ids:6672: 1040 536EP Data Fax Modem
drivers/pci/devlist.h:7905: DEVICE(8086,1040,"536EP Data Fax Modem")
Binary file drivers/pci/names.o matches
Binary file drivers/built-in.o matches
Binary file vmlinux matches
Is it possible to get this modem to work?
In answering this message, please CC me.
Thanks for your help,
Rick Knight

It's a winmodem, so this is off topic here. What you see in the
sources are things to identify it with lspci etc, not to make
it work.
Check
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm .
Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. I own such a crap (as
a backup, because I have ADSL), actually, the 537, and Intel
doesn't even list drivers for my model (only for the 537EP),
but I could get them at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/ . And yes,
there's no 2.6 support, another reason to stay away from such
winmodems.
