Re: Driver for 536ep-Modem does not compile

Dear Wolgang,

Yes indeed I was a bit surprised that in a so population dense region 

such as Aachen and in a so developed country such as Germany you did not 

have a broadband facility. But I played your game.

Perhaps, I poorly expressed myself. The build /etc/init.d/Intel536_boot 

and /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init you just sent me are NOT fully suited to 

a modern SUSE distribution such as yours as it showed up with $ sudo 

make install with the "set -x" you added on my demand. These two boot 

scripts show errors when installing them. Can you send me any other one 

but these two boot scripts you will find in /etc/init.d ?

Why do I insist on running efax first ? This is because it is a much 

simpler software using the modem only involving itself. It is much more 

easy to understand what can be going wrong with the driver's 

installation and anyhow and above all if efax does not run correctly, 

there is strictly no hope that wvdial will correctly work. In 

conclusion, efax with its simplicity is an ideal candidate to 

troubleshoot any modem driver.

Note that for the runs below I run a special driver that I modified for 

one user also running a Fedora 16 distribution. The previous version 

showed up one kernel oops under kernel 3.1.x that I never noticed under 

2.6.x kernels. So I keep this in my mind, just in case my changes need 

more work. I just commented out parts of the code in a problem 

reproduced 536EP run using efax. I am not yet fully sure about the code 

parts I can safely recomment in. As you have a DSL subscription, this 

oops and its temporary solution is described at 

http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/Linux-drivers-Troubleshooting_a_oops.html 

for your curiosity.

Read hereafter my today's run under Linux Fedora 16 (kernel 3.2.6). If 

you do not read such, we shall adjust for our next mail exchanges.

Also as I feel you are confident in me and provided we are really short 

of ideas, would you authorize me with much care against possible 

unwanted intruders to SSH connect to your SUSE system ? I already did it 

for a modem issue connecting to a computer somewhere in Latin America. I 

have been remotely working on the system while its owner who was so 

tired was quietly sleeping. When he woke up, he noticed a mail from me 

telling his modem was perfectly working. I got such a warm thank that 

I'll never forget it.

With my warmest regards to you.
Philippe

Dear Philippe,

I have been using your modem drivers on this computer for almost ten
years, starting from my very first ancient Redhat-installation until my
previous SUSE 10.3-distribution. They have been invaluable to me and I
am much indebted to you for your
great job! Nowadays I am using DSL to connect to the internet, as
probably most of us do, and would like to use the modem for sending
faxes and as an alternative, if DSL is down. But not everybody in the
world is in such a comfortable position and I think it is really
worthwhile to keep the drivers up to date. After all, this is one of the
great things about Linux, that I can have the most uptodate and
excellent system on a 10 year old computer (but with good hardware...).
If I tried to put Windows7 on my computer it wouldn't make a peep...
Therefore I am happy that I can assist you in improving the code, and
after all, it's fun to solve a problem and learn a little bit more about
linux.

Having said this let us come back to our problem:

I didn't quite understand if you also need the Intel536_boot script from
/etc/init.d. Isn't this the same as from your tarball?

The shell output of your commands are as follows:

Dear Wolfgang,

First it does look like that the intel-536-537/Intel536_inst shell
code we have been working on needs some improvements for a SUSE
distribution to avoid the warning messages.

To improve this code, can you send me one but the Intel536_boot and
vpnclient_init scripts. Both of these two are wrong for a SUSE
distribution. You will find one in /etc/init.d/. I shall use it as a
model for correct SUSE boot script programming.

However now, the Intel536.ko driver gets correctly installed in
/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/kernel/drivers/char/Intel536.ko

Can you from two terminals do the following ?

From one user account terminal:
$ tail -f /var/log/messages

From a root account terminal:
ls -l /dev/modem
ls -l /dev/536*
/etc/init.d/Intel536_boot status
/etc/init.d/Intel536_boot stop
/etc/init.d/Intel536_boot start

And you send me both screen captures.

There is one message which shows something really wrong that I cannot
figure out where the fault comes from:
Feb 16 18:12:33 linux modem-manager: (tty/536ep0): could not get port's

parent device

Why tty in tty/536ep0 ???? And this message comes from linux
modem-manager, a software I have no control over and I never used on
my Fedora distribution.

Anyhow and from now on, reload my
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/Intel-Readme.html Print out its
content and follow carefully each step of the guide. Prior to testing
with wvdial, use efax which is either in your /usr/bin directory or
that you can download from http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/ in source
zip format. To build the binary:
$ cd efax
$ make -f Makefile_original
If ls /usr/bin/efax says nothing, then replace efax by ./efax in the
command I document.

The module Intel536.ko is being loaded, the devices /dev/536ep and

/dev/536ep. The Intel536_boot-script goes into /etc/init.d,

I try $wvdialconf I still get the answer

Sorry, no modem was detected!

I did a reboot of the machine to look for boot-messages, and in fact
I get

Also, in the IRQ-list the modem does not show up. What might be the
reason for this?

Many thanks for your help!

Dear Wolfgang,

Outside subject and first, I am very surprised nm outputs a bunch of
thousand symbols as one of the shell instructions which composes the $
make 536 is to strip the symbols. I surely missed something here.

Back to your concern, an installable Intel536.ko by $ sudo make
install. As far as I understand what is happening on your side, the
first D=`ls /etc/*-release 2>/dev/null | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
assignment in intel536-537/Intel536_inst sounds correct. It returns
"/etc/lsb-release /etc/suse-release" with the "suse" substring being
exploitable.

However as it also returns the substring "lsb", the second D=`sed -r
's/DISTRIB_ID=(\w+)/\1/' /etc/lsb-release | tr [:upper:]

[:lower:]` leads to an unexploitable result.

As you are the very first one reporting me this bug despite me
maintaining this Intel code for many years, before I do change
anything in it, I must be aware how all the other handled Linux
distributions return the first D assignment. If none of them return an
lsb substring, I shall comment out this second D assignment. If anyone
of them displays lsb, then I must be aware on what is returned by the
second D assignment.

On my Linux Fedora 16 ,here is what tells the first D assignment:
[philippe@victor intel-536-537]$ echo $D
/etc/fedora-release /etc/redhat-release /etc/system-release
So no lsb substring and the redhat substring being exploitable for the
rest of the code.

As a first and temporary conclusion for us to progress toward your
satisfaction, edit with the editor of your choice the file
intel536-537/Intel536_inst and manage to have the lines:

# determine distribution:
D=`ls /etc/*-release 2>/dev/null | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`;

case $D in
*lsb*) D=`sed -r 's/DISTRIB_ID=(\w+)/\1/' /etc/lsb-release | tr
[:upper:] [:lower:]`;;
esac

look like:

# determine distribution:
D=`ls /etc/*-release 2>/dev/null | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`;

# case $D in
# *lsb*) D=`sed -r 's/DISTRIB_ID=(\w+)/\1/' /etc/lsb-release | tr #
[:upper:] [:lower:]`;;
# esac

This way the second "case $D" just after should correctly recognize
your distribution as being a SUSE distribution.

As you are a very trustful collaborator, I suggest you also temporary
add in this file a "set -x" without the double quotes on top of it so
that it looks like:

#***********************************************************************************

set -x
KERNVER=`uname -r`
echo "running kernel $KERNVER"

This way everyone will be able to control how well this shell code
executes.

Best regards,
Philippe

Dear Philippe,

I am happy to assist you in solving the problem!

First of all, $nm Intel536.ko outputs a bunch of several thousand
symbols.

For your first D, $ echo $D gives the output
"/etc/lsb-release /etc/suse-release"

and for the second D
lsb_version="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-ia32:

core-3.2-ia32:core-4.0-ia32"

Dear Wolfgang,

I notice you are clever and it's pretty enjoyable to work with you. I
thought my find command was correct. However I neglected to test it
before submitting it to you and this is my fault.

The $ make 536 warning you read is quite expected and has always
existed since the very beginning I inheird this code from Intel Corp.
The fact is that Intel did not provide all necessary files for a
clean
make with no warning. Just for your curiosity : if you perform the
command
$ ls -la coredrv/
that there are two *core.lib files with no *core.lib.cmd unlike the
other files when you will build them with make 536 and if you do the
command:
$ file <on each of these two *core.lib>
you'll see they are 32-bits ELF binary files. This is because of
these
two binary files, I claim Linux 32 bits support only in my
Intel-Readme.html on my Web site.

Now back to something you are expecting : a working correctly
installed 536EP driver which you can use to connect to Internet via
wvdial.

First and to check everything is indeed correct you should now
have an
Intel536.ko file in your intel-536-537/ directory. To even make it
surer, a:
$ nm Intel536.ko
ought to say no symbols

If the above is quite correct, let us figure out why $ sudo make
install fails on your computer returning the string:
unknown distribution - no boot scripts have been installed
The answer should be in intel536-537/Intel536_inst on the shell code
line you may test outside the burden of the $ make install
First:
$ D=`ls /etc/*-release 2>/dev/null | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
$ echo $D
Next if echo $D display lsb
D=`sed -r 's/DISTRIB_ID=(\w+)/\1/' /etc/lsb-release | tr [:upper:]
[:lower:]`
echo $D should contain on you side the string "suse" as you say you
run a SUSE distribution. As it seems and as a fact from your cut'n
paste, echo $D should contain no "suse" string, nor any of the other
recognized and dealt with distributions:
mandrake, redhat, redflag, conectiva, ubuntu, debian,
slackware,gentoo, knoppix.

So please mail us what tells each echo $D above. With this
information, I shall be able to guide you aiming at your full
satisfaction.

However, more mail exchanges and work need to be performed in close
collaboration with you. Currently I am on a totally dark land with
your Linux distribution. Two items to be known with your actual
distribution : where should the init scripts be installed ? Next what
is its common method to activate them at boot time ?

With my warmest regards,
Philippe

Dear Philippe,

your find-command does not give any output on my computer. I
nevertheless tried your suggestion, to change the occurances of
(2,6,38)
to (2,6,37) in coredrv.c, locks.c and softserial_io.c .
And in fact, the $ make 536 goes through then with only a warning

WARNING: could not find
/root/Installationen/Modem-536ep/intel-536-537/coredrv/.536core.lib.cmd

for
/root/Installationen/Modem-536ep/intel-536-537/coredrv/536core.lib

and the $ make install goes through with the warning

unknown distribution - no boot scripts have been installed

However, if I follow your advices in the readme.txt, to make the
modem work

$ insmod -f Intel536.ko
$ mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1
$ ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem

then no modem is detected, e.g. $ wvdialconf replies

Sorry, no modem was detected!

or if I start kppp and scan for the modem, then the computer
freezes. So
at the moment I do not understand what exactly happens.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang,

In coredrv/coredrv.c which fails to compile at line 779 on your
side,
I do the following:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,38)
#define DECLARE_MUTEX DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
#endif

DECLARE_MUTEX(exec_reg_sem);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistWriteQ);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistReadQ);
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(persistShutdownQ);

The above means that if kernel is 2.6.38 or higher, the
DECLARE_MUTEX(exec_reg_sem) reads as DEFINE_SEMAPHORE(exec_reg_sem)
I might perhaps have missed that kernel 2.6.37 (your kernel
version)
also needs DEFINE_SEMAPHORE.

To make sure, may I ask you to do the following on your computer:
$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include \
-exec grep DEFINE_SEMAPHORE {} \; -print

At fist glance, this find command should return matches on your
system.

If I refer to your experience, all
LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,38) must be changed to
LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,37)
The changes to be brought are in files coredrv/coredrv.c,
coredrv/locks.c and coredrv/softserial_io.c

If the find command displays DEFINE_SEMAPHORE, you may change the
code
yourself. You just edit those three files searching for 2,6,38 and
replace every occurence by 2,6,37. Then you tell us whether a $
make
536
now builds just as fine under your kernel version.

Thank you in advance to keep us informed.

Dear Wolfgang,

I do not know what can be wrong.
Try the following:
$ cd intel-536-537
$ uname -r|grep "2.6" && \ cd coredrv && make INTEL_MODEM=536EP
536core_26 && \
cp Intel536.ko .. && cd .. && \
strip --strip-debug Intel536.ko

If the above does not output CC and LD strings, try
$ cd coredrv
$ make INTEL_MODEM=536EP 536core_26

and reply to everyone with the cut and paste of what your read on
your
terminal screen.

Thanks in advance.

Philippe,

I may be misinterpreting your words, but you write

"If you run a 2.6.x kernel, then you will need
../Intel/intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_03.tar.bz2"

Since I am running the kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-default of SUSE
11.4 I
downloaded the intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_03.tar.bz2, but obtain
after
"make 536" the following output, reported in my previous
message:

(the german text in lines 4 and 6 means "couldn't find file or

Wolfgang,

You did not pay enough attention to what I write in the
TARBALLS
KERNEL COMPATIBILITY: chapter of my
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/Intel-Readme.html document.
Download
the correct tarball suited for a 2.6.x Linux kernel which your
SUSE
11.4 runs as per your indications.

Wolfgang,

This is a new problem that has arised since files were
changed.
Phillipe has made some changes to the code to accomodate them.
However, they were for newer kernels. Adding CC to Phillipe
so he
can
make some recommendations.

Phillipe,

Wolfgang has Intel-536ep-Modem in his Notebook and want for
it to
run
under SUSE 11.4 with kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-default. I
recommended
the
latest driver from your site, but he appears to be having
problems.

Thanks for your hard work and improvements to Intel 536/Intel
537
family of modems and other contributions to the community.

Antonio,

thank you for pointing the way to the newest releases.
Unforntunately, I
have still no success:

If I try the intel-536EP-537EP_2012_01_04.tar.bz2 I get the
same
error log
as described in my previous message.

If I try the intel-536EP-537EP_2011_12_03.tar.bz2 I obtain

Hi all,

I have an Intel-536ep-Modem in my Notebook and want to
run it
under SUSE
11.4 with kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-default. So I downloaded the
intel-536EP-537EP_2011_07_03.tar from

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters

and tried to compile it, but with no success. When I do
"make
536"
I get
the
following error messages:
