Intel Linmodem

[bucfan11]

I am a newbie and installed my Intel MD563X pci modem in Mandrake 8.2
(Linmodem)
This is exactly what I did: (logged in as root)
(1) I installed "kernel-source.rpm" off of my Mandrake CD
(2) I extracted "Intel-536ep-m.tgz"
(3) I ran "make clean"
(4) I ran "make 536ep"
(5) I ran "make install"
I get a error on install that says "can not unlink dev/536ep, not
permitted"
Please help me to get this modem working,
I even went to just the bash prompt and tried to do it manually (it was in
the read me)
when I get to the part : rm dev/536ep I still get the error :not permitted. I checked the properties to the file and Directory and I had rw
Thanks for any help

rm dev/536ep will not work.

Either try

cd /dev
rm 536ep

or

rm /dev/536ep

[bucfan11]

tried it, I get "Not Permitted"

If you are attempting as root to remove the device, then perhaps the device is actually in use.

Try

lsof /dev/536ep

and see if anything is using it.

I type that and it just goes back to the bash prompt, if I type jusy lsof it lists everything. I don't see it there. It also will not let me change permission on mnt/windows. Is this the same problem?

I booted under failsafe, typed init 3 and ran the commands from there, ALL WORKED!!
