Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to install my Intel536EP V92 internal modem on Slackware 10.0 and my kernel version is 2.4.26.
I downloaded the file Intel536ep-4.69.1.tgz from intel site and extracted it to a directory in my home folder.
It said it must work for following versions :
mandrake-release
SuSE-release
redhat-release
debian_version (including Corel)
slackware-version
conectiva-version
bluepoint-release
redflag-release
Unknown distributions install modules and utilities but
will not install boot scripts!.
Then I followed the instructions in Readme file. This is what happend :
root@Immortal:~/INTEL/intel-536EP-2.56.76.1# make clean
cd coredrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/INTEL/intel-536EP-2.56.76.1/coredrv'
rm -f *.ko *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/INTEL/intel-536EP-2.56.76.1/coredrv'
rm -f *.o *.ko

Intel536.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. The module may be trying to access
GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
user error. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
can help you.
What is wrong here? and how can I resolve this problem and install my modem.
