My dial up modem has an Intel536 chip, purchased from Dick Smith. The driver I used in a more up to date one from the Intel web site rather than the one supplied one on the CD Rom. I could not get the driver source to compile. However there was a precompiled binary in the tar file. I ran the install script in the tar file and it was able to detect the precompiled binary and install that. $ modinfo Intel536 license: Proprietary license: Proprietary vermagic: 2.6.3-7mdk 586 depends: $ ls -l /dev/536ep crw-r--r-- 1 root root 240, 1 May 31 16:44 /dev/536ep Cheers Ross Drummond
