I don't think 9.1 is worth the pain!!!
Stick to 9.3!
You may try to compile the driver provided by Intel.
It may be helpful to read this HowTo for Ubuntu:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com//IntelFiveThreeSixEPModemHowto
Get the driver sources from Intel:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...&ProductID=977
SuSE 9.3 (like Ubuntu 5.04) has a newer kernel, and Intel's sources are not going to work. Get a patch from the aforementioned page, or from here:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/arch.../msg00280.html
and save it as intel536.diff
Do what you have to do with the kernel, as root,:
Code:
tar xzf intel-536ep-4.69.1.tgz
cd intel-536EP-2.56.76.1
patch -l -p1 < <directory-where-diff-is>/intel536.diff
The output of this patch command should look like this:
Code:
patching file coredrv/softserial.h
patching file coredrv/softserial_io.c
If it doesn't, hmmm... FIX IT before going on!
Go on...
Code:
make clean
make 536
Try ls -l Intel536.ko, you should get smth like ~109 kB Intel536.ko.
Installing (not sure, I'm on Windows now, please tell me what gets):
Code:
cp Intel536.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/char
depmod -a
modprobe Intel536
If you get the error "FATAL: Module Intel536 not found.", then... uhh.... Hope you'll not!
Enable loading at boottime:
Code:
echo Intel536 >> /etc/modules
You can check whether or not the module is loaded by using "lsmod|grep Intel536" -- if you don't see "Intel536" output by this, the module isn't loaded.
The name of the modem should always be: /dev/536ep0.
It's a good idea to ln -s /dev/modem to it, JIC.
Tell me what you got ( b e r a n g e r @ y a h o o . c a)
