Intel 53x Modem Driver - ArchWiki

# Intel 53x Modem Driver

## Introduction

This document is targeted on the installation of e.g. Intel 536ep or Intel 537.

Important: Please do not change the docu without notifiying me (tpowa). These modules were built for the latest arch stock kernel 2.6. You have to rebuild the package for other kernels or have to stay with the old kernel until a new package is provided.

## Installation

To get the drivers you have to use extra repository:

    # pacman -S intel-537

or

    # pacman -S intel-536ep

## Configuration

    /etc/rc.conf

- Add intel-536EP or intel-537 to daemon list
- Add intel536 or intel537 and ppp_generic to modules list

Note: If pppd quits with an ERROR 1 just after connection, change auth to noauth in `/etc/ppp/options` or use the call option (see the pppd man page).
Note: If you do not want to set the permissions of your modem you "can" set /usr/bin/pppd setuid but this may be a security risk, you have been warned!!!

If you have comments on the package please post it here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=6123
