How to compile modem driver, help me

[knez]

Uh, i need some help. And the post is to long, i know. I can't compile driver for my modem. Modem is Intel 536 ep, driver is intel-536ep-4.69. From readme.txt:
 
  1. login as ROOT
  2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
  3. cd into the directory it created.
  4. Type: make clean
  5. Type: make 536
  6. Type: make install

Compile issues
  a. this driver will now compile with the this path:
  /lib/modules/<kernel version>/build/include
  the 2.4.4+ kernels says to copy the /boot/vmlinuz.version.h
  over to the kernel build path.  I have the makefile do this
  if this file exists.  You must install the kernel source
  code anyways.  It should be on your distribution's CD.

Here is what I get:

Can anyone help, I'm lost. First of all, file /boot/vmlinuz.version.h (in my case that would be vmlinuz.2.6.15-23-386.h) doesn't exist. In /boot there is only vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 file. And what is /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h? Any ideas cause I'm completly and totaly lost.

Re: How to compile modem driver, help me

First of all, the instructions that you quote seem pretty old. if you'll note, the author is referring to the linux-2.4.4 series of kernels. As you can see from your output, we're now using 2.6.15 kernels. A lot of things have happened in Linux since the 2.4.4 kernel. I would wonder whether a newer version of the driver software is available, if so, it might repay your efforts to find it.
