When you say drivers, do you mean multiple files? What format are they in, e.g., rpm, tar.gz?

Some Google search results for MD563X-HaM (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=MD563X-HaM&btnG=Google+Search) that may help.

they are in tarformat, hope thats enough info, please help, thanks :eek:

[mdwatts]

.tar?

tar xvf filename.tar

.tar.gz?

tar zxvf filename.tar.gz

Then cd into the newly created directory (cd filename) and then read the Install and Readme.

There is a NHF here at LNO on installing software which explains the above process.

the files name is Intel-v92ham.tgzi have tried the instructions that came with it and they do not work, or i am doing something wrong and i also tried the walk thru NHF and it did not work with this either. you can goto Intels site and try them yourself if you like, its the MD563x-ham drivers... :confused: :confused: :confused: i dont know what to do next, i do google searches but they just end up leading you to someone like myself who is trying to find more info :rolleyes:

What part does not work? What do the instructions say?

Sorry but I'm not going to install drivers for hardware I don't have.

I have Intel MD563X-HaM V.90 Modem
along with kernel 2.4.X

Of the 2 drivers that intel provides
v.92 , 2.4.X and v.90 , 2.2.X

I'm out of luck.

Which v.XX do you have?

I know this post doesn't help your problem, just thought I'd join in with the problem :)
