Dear Sir
I did buy the Intel Modem based on DQ(82)536ep chipset, then download the drivers for
linux , no driver full support Slackware 10.1 2.4.29 that I use it as my desktop OS at
home, I am sure the modem is OK because when I installed modem on a linux RedHat
version 9 by using RH9UP driver all worked correctly, but about Slackware the install
section detect Slackware as Unknown Distribution then do not install the boot script file
Intel536_boot in rc.d directory. Infact only the last part of installation has problem, boot
Script creation, it can not create S99_Intell536 in rc.d directory of course there is no rc2.d
Rc3.dand rc5.d directory and init.d directory, I tried create them and copy Intel536_boot
File in init.d – that needs as a source directory and copy it as S99_Intel536 into rcX.d
directories and another problem in /dev we have to find /dev/536@ that can be link by ln
Command to driver, but it cannot be find there, I try creating needed directories and files
in them and editing Intel_install file in unknown distribution section as in Redhat section
Can be seen, but it was unsuccessful and modem could not be detect and drive
Modem Chipset Driver - Compiled binary for Red Hat 9.0 default configuration - [INTEL-536EP-
4.69-RH9-UP.TGZ]
Modem Chipset Driver - Compiled binary for Red Hat 9.0 default configuration - [INTEL-536EP-
4.69-RH9-UP.TGZ]
there is precompiled Intel® 536EP V.92 modem (PCI) chipset driver for the UP (uni-
processor) configured Conectiva 9.0 system or Fedora core1 but I don't know really they
can help me, if yes how I could not find any good idea better than editing install script as
I said. It would be grateful if you advice me how can edit Intel536_install or other
solution can help me to use the intel 536ep pci modem on Slackware. (in reed me you can
find that the driver will support Slackware Debian…,all over any advice will be useful. there
is a part of install file that will set driver for Mandrake :
case $KERNVER in
2.4*)
install -o root -g root -m 664 Intel536.o ${CharModDir}/Intel536.o || exit 1
;;
2.6*)
install -o root -g root -m 664 Intel536.ko ${CharModDir}/Intel536.ko || exit 1
;;
esac

echo mandrake Intel536_boot script
install -o root -g root -m 110 Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/init.d

ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99_Intel536
ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99_Intel536
ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99_Intel536
}
elif …

or for RedHat:
case $KERNVER in
2.4*)
install -o root -g root -m 664 Intel536.o ${CharModDir}/Intel536.o || exit 1
;;
2.6*)
install -o root -g root -m 664 Intel536.ko ${CharModDir}/Intel536.ko || exit 1
;;
esac

echo redhat hamboot rc2.d and rc3.d scripts
install -o root -g root -m 110 Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/init.d
ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99_Intel536
ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99_Intel536
ln -s -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99_Intel536
}

any Idea,any advice can help me
thnx
regards U

reading this i guess you should type at the commandprompt: ( as root )

#install -o root -g root -m 664 Intel536.o /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/Intel536.o

that will install the modem driver in the module tree.

#install -o root -g root -m 110 Intel536_boot /etc/rc.d

that will install a script, probably named " Intel536_boot " in the rc.d dir.

then edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ( not sure which file to add it, maybe inet1 is the best to try )
and add a line at the end :

---
/etc/rc.d/Intel536_boot
---

this should match the name of the script , so you might check it.
that should do it...

thnx 4 attention
i try to find out something by compare wot happens in REDHAT and manually installatoin in slackware i will report all i can find out
thnx again
