done
[root@localhost Intel536-460-1-TLE50]#


now wht i have to do now does the modem installed or in readme file of driver there are further instruction given which are given here as:



Please examine the 536ep-inst script if you have a different distribution.

The driver is split in two. A serial driver and core driver.
The core driver must be loaded first since the serial driver depends on it.
The serial driver registers itself as character device
major number 240, minor number 1.


ATTENTION: if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.
Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.

0. log in as root.
1. insmod -f 536epcore.o
2. insmod -f 536ep.o
2a. you can start "hamregistry" at this point if you wish.
3. rm /dev/536ep
4. mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number is)
5. ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
6. start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.
7. see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct
country settings.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FILE DESCRIPTIONS

536ep-inst installation script to install 536ep modules and supporting files


files copied to /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/misc
536epcore.o driver core code module
536ep.o pseudo serial driver for 536ep, depends on 536epcore.o

files copied to /etc/rc.d/... (path differes per distribution)
536ep-boot boot scrip to start and stop 536ep modules

files copied to /usr/sbin
hamregistry hamregistry is the "registry" like tool that the modem uses to
get and store persistant data such as county info and profile strings.

files copied to /etc
hamregistry.bin file that stores the initial persistant data for modem.




In file desreptions i found that only this path i.e

files copied to /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/misc

is not found plz tell me wt i have to do now
i shall be very thankful to u.
