357552 2005-05-22 16:19:00 I just got this to work... not quite perfectly but it works.

I've been trying at this modem for ages and I'm guessing since it's sold at DSE for like, $30 other people might be too.

Anyway, all you have to do is go here (downloadfinder.intel.com) and select your version of Linux from the drop down box.

For me it was Fedora Core 3, which is not listed (except as RedHat9) so I got this (downloadfinder.intel.com) package and did the following:


cp file.tgz /usr/tmp
cd /usr/tmp
tar -xzf file.tgz
cd file-folder/
make clean
make 536


Now everything went fine for me until here. When I did the make install command I got an error about rmmod not being recognized.

So what you do now is simply type set and look for and entry called PATH. From this entry you have to take the variable. It should look something like this:


/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/hamstar/bin

Copy that text (right click>copy, not ctrl-c) type
PATH=<paste>:/sbin/

Now do make install and it should work perfectly.
