I'm having getting Redhat 9.0 (2.4.20-8) to recognize my Modem

I used these drivers:

http://developer.intel.com/design/m...ivers_linux.htm


Intel-536ep-460.tgz Linux drivers for MD5628D-L-C chip



The make clear, make 536ep and make install run flawlessly

If you are wondering I'm a n00b but not that much of a n00b. I used Mandrake 8.0 and 9.0 b4 coming over (I switched b/c the drake was too buggy for me and not a clean enough interface like RH though the dearth of RPMs that come preinstalled kinda sucks)

But I cannot access the modem...I would load up KPPP and try every single "/dev/modem" type of stuff and I can't get the modem to recognize.

Mind you I haven't recompiled my kernel (I just have .o files or whatnot that load up) b/c I don't know how and that is going to affect me too much that extra second.


But does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Thanks if anyone knows what to do! I'm so clueless because I can easily install it yet I'm stuck from there

Look just a tad after make 536 EP...there is someting that isn't there that should me? VM linuz or something like that?

Also with this compilation I somehow got the modem!!! I think. IN KPPP ttsy3 doesn't work (which is com4 right?) but /dev/modem freezes again but this time I get some clicking noise!!!! So that means the modem must've been affected especially if it started clicking...it would do that once then stop for a while and then start again as if something timed out
