Solved: intel536ep internal modem on Slackware 11
This post has been created for the little to medium experienced linux user to get the intel536ep internal modem working on Slackware 11.
Download the intel536ep driver from intel website download centre. (www.intel.com). As root user extract the tarball to /root/intel_internal_modem_driver/ (create dir intel_internal_modem_driver) Do: Code:
make clean So, create a file named "modem_boot_sc" in directory /root/admin_scripts (create dir admin_script) add this code to the file: Code:
#!/bin/sh Now make the file executable with: Code:
cd /root/admin_scripts Code:
cd /root/admin_scripts/ Note 1, all directories and paths are "as is" on my system. Change to what you want but remember to change the script code to match. Note 2, the driver/module "Intel536.o" is created if you have kernel 2.4.x. I believe kernel 2.6.x creates "Intel536.ko", therefore amend the script code above for your kernel. Check your kernel with: Code:
uname -r |
Well done, this is a notoriously difficult modem to get going.
It would be interesting to see how this goes in other distros. For eg - selinux users will probably have to set the secrity context in the mknod step... |
