[Karmic] Intel 536EP driver won't compile

[Roland Hughes]

I sent this off to Linmodem as well, since I couldn't find a contact email for the guy whose been providing the TAR and BZ2 files. Kernel changes with Karmic mean this software no longer compiles.

Failed to build driver

I took a look at proc_fs.h and see it now has

struct proc_dir_entry {
 unsigned int low_ino;
 unsigned short namelen;
 const char *name;
 mode_t mode;
 nlink_t nlink;
 uid_t uid;
 gid_t gid;
 loff_t size;

I'm going to power down and try my smartlink modem now.

It took quite a bit of tweaking, but I got wvdial to work with it yesterday.
Will play with efax as time allows.
