Does anybody have a 536EP modem from intel?
They have only release versions of the driver to kernel 2.4 and don't have a schedule to launch an updated version to 2.6.
Anybody have compiled the driver for 2.6 on your own?
Thanks!
I have the same modem, and ha
I have the same modem, and haven't been able to find any drivers for the new kernel lately... I have been hoping someone would make one, or even intel get their act together and make a new one.
Sorry I don't have anything.. I will let you know if i find something.
driver for intel 536ep
Driver will be released in late June 2004(accord. to Intel)
Where this information comes from?
I was in contact with an intel developer who said that theres no date yet.
Ohhh, well... I dont think that is more than 3 men work... :)
Lets get it working, Intel!!!
Thanks!
536ep driver
it seems that you are right about intel release dates,anyways few of us are now working on driver for 2.6 kernels.we are trying to modify old driver,in week or so we will have working driver(hopefully).any help is welcomed.
How can I help?
How can I contact you? I wanna help!
me too...
I am really new to linux.., I just got SuSE 9.1, which has the 2.6 kernel...
I would really wish someone would make one..., I really like SuSE and I hate using XP.., just cause someone wont make a new driver...,
Oh well...

SuSE 9.1 Up & Running w/External modem
I have used two flavors of linux with the 2.6 kernel, and they
both worked flawlessly with my CNet external modem.
This modem should work with all flavors of linux that have the
2.6 kernel . On my system SuSE 9.1 and Mandrake 10.0 work fine.
External CNET modemn driver - Gentoo - 2.6.10
Hi there
I'm running Gentoo Linux with 2.6.10 and know linux pretty well. However, the dail-up modem thing is new to me. I have a CNET 56k external and have no clue where to find the driver.
Some help here would be great since I'm using XP so much now that I've started to use themes and stuff ... HELP!

Any news yet? Or anybody fou
Any news yet? Or anybody found a driver for the intel 536ep under kernel 2.6.x?
SUSE RPM
There is an RPM for SUSE Linux that claims to contain a version of the 536ep driver that will work with a 2.6 kernel. I've tried it with a 2.6.7 kernel. I can get it to compile and insert the kernel module, but if I try to access the modem the computer locks up. Any suggestions?

intel 536ep working with kernel 2.6 mandrake 10.0 power pack
sorry again because of my english.with driver found on http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/536/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0tgz
i fine set up my modem ,with kernel 2.6 (mandrake10.0 power pack).dis coment i wrote online with that configuration.
errm can i have it?
hi can some one email me the drivers for this to conor.ewings@gmail.com i am desprate to get my linux computer working!
intel 536
please can you send me a driver that you said that work.(mvmilan@yahoo.co.uk)
Any news about it?
Does anyone has some new information regaring support for the 536ep modem from Intel to linux 2.6.x ???
Thanks!!
536ep driver
I' ve compiled the damm thing,with some minor adjustments in include directives,and some small hacking of source.Driver now compiles but IT DOES'N WORK ,as I suspected.Intel is the only one,who can make a new driver,so complain to Intel!!!
Where can i download?
I want to debug if it is possible.
Intel driver support sucks!
compiling 536ep driver for kernel 2.6
you can download driver source from intel,it 's partially open source.after that,try to compile it,follow the errors and modify source.happy hacking :(
PS.As I stated before you can make driver compile without any errors,but it will not work.
Where can I get this version that compiles
I dont know how to make it compile, I just want to get the version that compiles (that one you modified) and try inserting debug code to display the errors.
Intel modems sucks hard on linux.
Intel modems do not work under linux properly.

I hope someone will find this on google before buying and Intel modem and buys a USRobotics instead.
driver source
I 'm not sure if I still have the hacked source,I'll look it up.there is a message in fedora core 2 mailing list on red hat,about the same thing,look for it there(check in modems section).Guy there also compiled the driver,with same result,and he said there that it is not problem in making the driver to compile,but instead problem is in the part of the driver that intel provides(that part is under intel licence),so until they don't modify that part of the driver to make it compatible with 2.6 kernels,there won't be a new driver.
AND YES, I AGREE,INTEL REALY SUCKS ON LINUX
PS. If you don't know how to make it compile,don't waste your time.
PS. My english is pretty bad,sorry.
intel 536...........hmmmmmmmm!
yep, i managed to get that troublesome modem working under
fedora with source aquired from intel, recently ported to Debian
though and am haveing major difficulties with the thing. Like you it compiled but no banana. Still, it will be do-able its just a question of hpw long

536ep linux driver for 2.6 kernels
Someone is not telling the truth about the driver.Most of the people claims that changes should be made in a licence closed part of the driver,that intel provides,in order to make modem work on 2.6 series kernels.However intel claims that all changes should be made in open source part of the driver,check this link for more info about the problem,and driver release dates: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg00914.html
If there is anyone who wants to help in an effort to make new driver,please contact me at dejan_kitic@yahoo.com
I want to try to make changes to an existing driver in order to make it work under 2.6-I need some knowledge about changes made in 2.6,and internal kernel workings.

Que sucedio con los tipos de Intel?
Pd. Tengo Suse9.1 Kernel 2.6
It works for me
I am using SuSE 9.1 Pro. I went to this page http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/536/ and at the bottom there is driver source for the 2.6 kernel.
I compiled it without too many problems. You do need kernel-source, gcc and make to be able to compile it though.
It dialed up all right, but I couldn't get an IP address or DNS at first. I set it to 'Stupid Mode' and tried again and it worked perfectly.
I am using it now as I type this message :-)
Shame for intel
In Brazil, this modem is very common.
As Intel show its inability to provide quality drivers for it, I am hoping its adotion will diminute a lot.
Yes, as someone said, Intel is not listening to the customers.
Google this!!!
I wish that someone who is going to buy a new modem see this forum and doesnt buy Intel modems.
Thanks!!!
Thanks gentelmen. I was plann
Thanks gentelmen. I was planning to buy this modem but now I will not. What inernal modem I should buy? Is Lucent ok with kernel 2.6? I am using SuSe 9.1 personal free edition.
Nice!!!!
Did you checked out linmodems.org? Dont know if there you will find more information, but anyway...
Modem choice
All internal modems(more-less) are now Win modems,and have or will have some kind of problems with linux(thanks to Micro$oft).It 's better to buy external modem(they are hard Modems).
Linmodems.org is right place to look for info about linux compatible modems.

536ep with kernel 2.6
sorry my english is very buggy.do tray htpp://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/536/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0.tgz .I didnt tray.
This works on 2.6?
I want to put fun back into computing....
I just need to enter the internet again using Linux, as I was
able to do a long, long, time ago, with kernel 2.4...
It is what says in the comment on the site
I will test it now!!!!
I hope it works!!!! :))))) I hope!!!!!
I look forward to it working!!!!!!
I am eager to get back to internet on my linux at home!!!
YES!!! It works!!!!
I tried it with success!!! I am writing this now on linux!!!
Do anyone know how made this? Was Intel?
I want to thank this people!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
Looks like it has a little issues with sound playnd while dialing... It pauses the sound for a second or so, but it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We now have Intel Modem 536EP working on Linux!!!! Google this!!!
Thanks for the link!!!
Yes, it work nicely... Just some simple warnings on compile....
Not a problem, thought.
It just has a few glitches while dialing and listening music. The sound skips a little.
Not a great problem!!!
Hey, guys, it is working!!!!!
YES!!!
Fine if I want 26kbps
I'm upset.
I knew this would happen, but stupidly hoped it wouldn't.
The dialling makes funny sounds, that always means for me I end up with a poor carrier speed of about 26400bps, I'm used to 44666bps and so that is just not good enough.
No driver after 4.51 has ever got me a proper connection speed.
I might get 44000 1 in 10 connection attempts:-(
The drivers OUT!
For anybody who doesnt know yet, theres a new driver out for the intel 536ep under the 2.6 kernel. Works a charm in Fedora Core 2.
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/536/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0...
Enjoy :)
Andrew
what about Fedora Core 3 ?
I could make my modem work on RedHat 9 but i does not work
on Fedora core 3.
what should i do?
need your help....
hisitech@yahoo.com
i had it up and running ion fedora three
Hey, Its dead easy
first download the source from intel. Make sure you get source that
hasnt been pre-done for a specific distro just get it bare
make clean
make 536
make install
you've already done the above before no doubt but it didnt work for me
either
in the readme.txt there are further instuctions from the authors of the driver got from no less than linus himself
they are:
0. log in as root.
1. insmod -f Intel536.o (Intel536.ko for kernel 2.6)
2. 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.
good luck

intel 536EP modem driver for kernel 2.6x on debian?
I installed BH6 (=debianbased knoppixlile distro) on hd and I'm very happy with it, but one major problem
I have an e-tech pci56avp hardware fax-modem installed and it doesn't work. ( this is a intel corp. 536EP data fax modem)
Now I found after long search a driver that should work with 2.6x kernels. It's tested under mandrake suse and redhat.
When I try to install the driver, everything goes well untill : make install . here I get errors.
I think I might be something debian-related (boot-up scripts)
here is what went wrong:

Has anybody got this driver installed succesfuly on a debian based distro or does somebody know how to make "make install " work?
YES.
Yes, I have done, a long time ago on a Debian Woody.
if you see, your autoconf.h and others files dont run fine.. thats is becouse you dont have the correct dir or the install script dont have a nice link to your kernel source. See your driver script file and search the line that runs the verif.. the autoconf.h exist. See the correct list of directories that they wants, and also check if you have it (autoconf.h) in your linux, in fact.... for example they wants:
/usr/share/kernel/linux/includes
but in your linux you have:
/user/share/kernel/intel2.6/includes..
you only need do a new link ln -s to '.../linux/...' and check,
that helps to me a lot of times.. See you.
sorry for my stupid english,
its no my first lenguaje.
its hard to me.

I changed distros last week,
I changed distros last week, now using Debian with a 2.4 kernel
and lo and behold the only bit of hardware giving me trouble is the very same modem (536ep). I've actually partitioned a few gigs of space to run windows NT which, regretfully im using to write this.
This is what i've done so far
got the source from intel, followed the usual, make clean....etc etc
no go so i followed the extra advice:
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 Intel536.o (Intel536.ko for kernel 2.6)
2. 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.
On following step 1` i got :
you are tying to insert a non GPL module into the kernel, contact the company only they can help you.
or somthing like that.
so i looked for another way
on anothers advice i modified the intel source. In the coredrv/coredrv.c file and the serialdrv/softserial.c file, there is the line:
MODULE_LICENSE("Proprietary");
i changed these two lines (for the purpose of learning only) to:
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
however it returned to me:
unresolved symbol put_tty_driver.
I've found the offending bit of code but cant figure out how to fix it, any help or an easier way would be very greatly recived.
Damien. "skrye"
ps: altering proprietary code affects your right to use it :-P
lo
exactly the same problem,on ubuntu...dunno what should i do...i even get 100% same message as you :)
same here
ever find an answer for ubuntu?
I'm getting the exact same er
I'm getting the exact same error as you on ubuntu as well. If any of you find an answer. Please, PLEASE post it.
Modified Intel's 536EP sources
Hi,
I modified Intel's 536EP sources to make it work on Fedora Core 4. It appears to work fine as I can use efax to send faxes. However I still have a problem with efix getting a blank page when $ efix -n letter letter.txt. If someone has a clue for it, I would be pretty glad.
Philippe (mailto:Philippe.Vouters@laposte.net)
Driver source
I also modified driver source to compile,and it loads fine but modem is not responding,can u post your source,maybe i can help with efix,u can email me to dejan_kitic@yahoo.com
intel 536ep
Please, tell me how did you get working this modem?
can you be more sppecifically?
10x a lot
ionel
Hi Ionel, Can you email me
Hi Ionel,
Can you email me so that I can send you the .tgz. I tested it with efax and I can CTRL-C right in the middle of sending data. Note that I also modified efix so that it does not display a blank window on xloadimage (aka fax view).
Here is what I obtain on a CTRL-C:
