Newbie installing Intel controller- based internal PCI dialup modem (no DSL in my area). Have already had success with external serial modem install in Mandrake Linux 10.0 Kppp, but could not log on due to AOL incompatibility with Linux. Tried pengAOL dialer. Spent about a week ..... that fizzled out. Would like to try this modem and have found other ISP. Have installed modem in PC

Have copied the following Linux modem driver files from supplied CD to:
/home/mark/Linux/Intel-536ep-443
Intel-536ep-443-M82.tgz
Intel-536ep-443-R72.tgz
Intel-536ep-443-S80.tgz
Intel-536ep-443.tgz
Am not quite sure which file to use, but started with the last one. Install reads as follows:
1. logon as root
OK
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
[root@localhost Linux]# tar -zxvf Intel-536ep-443.tgz

Am now at this point and could use some help. Please keep in mind I have no experience with CLI and am not so good with syntax and spaces.....
Thank you

did you install kernel sources?

OK, installed kernel headers per urpmi and got a little further:
these are install instructions for the modem drivers
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 536ep
6. Type: make install-536ep
7. When you restart the computer,Tye: bash 536ep-inst

thanks for the install kernel source tip. Where do I go from here?
Thanks

Is this a command you're running yourself, or is generated by some script?

It's sending your shell prompt to the shell, obviously generating garbage!

sorry, I should be more clear about what I put in and what comes out! I did not enter this command. The last one I entered was the
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-443]# make 536ep
as per the installation instructions and the rest of it is what got spit back out.
Any help would be appreciated. I have spent close to a month on this (no DSL here), and am fading fast. (yes I know about external serial modems being easier, but would like to learn this also).
Thanks

Make sure the kernel-source you installed is kernel-source-2.6

urpmi kernel-source-2.6

They changed the naming convention and you have to explicitly install
kernel-source-2.6 or it gives you a 2.4 kernel source. It's crazy, but that's how it is.

Uh oh. Just read the docs with the modem stating compatible with kernel 2.4.x and does not say if compatible with newer kernels. I am pretty sure the MandrakeLinux 10.0 is 2.6.3-7
I typed in urpmi kernel-source-2.6
output: everything already installed
As you can see from my previous post, there is trouble after the 'make 536ep' command.
Thanks for any help
