Re: intel 537 with kernel 3.1.x

Thanks for the swift reply Antonio.

Well originally I had a conexant chipset for a HCF modem that the linuxant group had drivers for, however those drivers ONLY worked on pre 3.x kernels so they broke when I upgraded.  Dev team from Linuxant has informed me they are aware of the API break in the driver for the newer kernel and say they should fix it sometime soon.  Meanwhile I dug up the Intel modem you see below to try and get it to work.

So short answer I never should have upgraded!! :)

Regards,
Patrick
