Hello all

Unfortunatly I also have problem using Intel modem with intel-536ep chipset with Suse 9.3
Its problem in detail is:

This modem can be detected and its module( Intel-536ep.ko) will be loaded with insmod command and with opening the its device( /dev/536ep0 ) no error occured but no input and output through this device node can be done; for example you can see this with minicom or kppp's query modem option. Thus in Suse-9.3 it totally is useless.

Can anyone help us for solving it?
any aomment appretiated.
And is there anyone that are using that modem with debian 2.6.11 kernel, successfully ?

Be susccessful

Maybe the permissions are set wrong on the modem device? Or it may be that the user needs to be in a special "group" (such as "dialout") to use it.

Can you send the output of this:

ls -l /dev/536ep0

and also:

ls -l /dev/modem

if it exists.

Also check to see (under Yast) if the user is in group "dialout".

One easy way to check all of this is to run as root. If it works, you probably have a permission problem for the user. If not, you have something more complicated going on.

Hello helmut_hed

Thanks BUT Did you think i didn't do some sanity checks ?
I did all of them .

I even wrote a letter to this driver's author in Intel but the yahoo could not send my letter to him :-(

can you send him a request letter to fix the problem? His address is dorian.araneda@intel.com

Any comment is appreciated.
Thanks
