SuSE 9.1 was the first with a 2.6 kernel. Intel was late porting its 536 driver to 2.6, plus the driver doesn't work - so this modem driver was not part of SuSE 9.1. Your only chance would be to use the latest 536 available to fix it up (recompile the glue?) for your kernel. > Unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at virtual address Some kernel module crashed big way. > does this mean that the kernel module is basically stuffed for the modem? Unless you tried the latest version of the 536 driver, it means that either it seriously doesn't work with your hardware configuration, or it doesn't work with the kernel in 9.1. From 9.2 onwards it works again. Upgrade distro (9.1 was discontinued last week), change modem card, or invoke plan B.
