Newb installing an Intel 536ep dialup modem (no DSL here) that came with Linux drivers on CD. Have studied linmodem and Winmodem sites and have installed an ext. serial modem in Kppp. Would like to try this internal controller based PCI modem. Nowhere did anything say about installing kernel sources but someone helped me out. I have no CLI experience, but am trying. It is a long story but have spent about a month trying to access internet. I have ext serial modem on order and am changing ISP. Could not connect with AOL and Linux. Am using Mandrake 10.0. Can anyone walk me thru this?
Thanks
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
step 3
[root@localhost Linux]# cd Intel-536ep-443
step 4
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-443]# make clean
