Intel 536EP/537 new driver

Dear everyone,

The problems corrected are the following:
1/ The driver failed to compile under 3.3.4 kernel.
2/ Worked upon kernel oops.

Now both $ efax -vewinchmart and $ stty -F /dev/modem -a work correctly 
without any kernel oops. This has been tested with a 536EP modem.

Because we switched to VoIP for cost reasons, I am unable to test with 
wvdial, kppp, hylafax, minicom. If someone is willing to make tests, his 
feedback remains welcomed. Also if someone else is owning a 537EP modem, 
I'd be glad to hear from.

Yours truly,

--

Re: Motorola SM56

Shawn,

Please send to the whole Discuss list, as others way beneficially contribute.
If we are to help, we need the whole Log of the modem negotiation.
We have certainly encountered IPs whose CONNECT protocols seem Linux hostile.
But more detail is needed in your case.

Re: Motorola SM56

Shawn,

When the call has to go through some type of switching sysem,
inserting a comma in the phone number implements a 1 sec pause, for
each comma.  So try something like:
1,,888,xxxxxxx,n  to provide 1 or sec pauses at places which may be useful.

Re: At commands

Send to the List (not me), the ModemData.txt file output when you run
./scanModem

With respect to the AT commands, many drivers under Linux do not have
the full AT set implemented.

At commands

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make my modem work as phone but I found a lot of issue:

I don't know the AT command to stop AT+VRX.

Don't know how to do full duplex:
(if i use AT+VTX+VRX it let me just send, AT+VRX+VTX just receive)

Need a full AT command list but really don't know where to find it after 
hours and hours of research...

When i try to call someone:
AT+FCLASS=8\r
AT+VLS=1\r
ATD <NUMBER>;\r (or ATD<NUMBER>\r)
It starts calling, but if i give ANY command it tells me: "NO CARRIER" 
and stop calling... I don't know how to disable carrier detection and 
ATS10=255 doesn't work. (Even some other commands i tried [AT&C0/1] etc...)

I'm really going mad!

These are my informations:

Re: Dennis, US Linux Mint 12 Lisa kernel 3.0.0-12-generic

yeah, I had it installed already.   it doesn't work with any real
degree of consistency(maybe 1 in every 80 times).  Even with the
carrier check disabled, in wvdial.conf, wvdial still checks for
carrier.  I also had stupid mode on as well.   Had a lot of resposes,
with repeating "No Carrier!!!", and "No Dialtone".    I ended up
installing Ubuntu 12.04(precise) in place of mint.  only change at all
is it now doesn't detect the modem at all.  was thinking about moving
off of Ubuntu(I've had nothing but problems with it after v8.04's
support ended) and it's derivatives and just use regular Debian
instead.   this Motorola SM56 data/fax modem has me pretty frustrated
at this point.

intel 537. system halted

Hi:

I am trying to install the intel 537 modem under Ubuntu Oneiric. I am
following the linmodem, Philippe Vouters and other guides. I have experience
with Agere and Conexant modem but I need to install a intel 537. 

I have the intel 537 code, it was downloaded from:
<http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_11.tar.bz2>

I solved the problem with Ubuntu distributions about the autoconf.h missing.
My solution is:
ln -sf /lib/modules/3.0.0-16-generic/build/include/generated/autoconf.h
/lib/modules/3.0.0-16-generic/build/include/linux/autoconf.h 

Also, I edited the 537_inst script and modified the "Kernel Version"
detection for to accept the version 3.x, see:
   2.6* | 3.*)
      KMS="ko"  # Kernel Module Suffix
      ;;

The code was compiled successfully BUT the wvdialconf don't detect my modem.
I edited the wvdial.conf with the requirement options manually and executed
the wvdial BUT the system is halted (freezes).

I tested with other version with the same result; they are like:
intel-536EP-537EP_2012_01_04.tar.bz2
intel-536EP-537EP_2012_02_29.tar.bz2

I put all actions, results and the ModemData.txt content below.
