Я пробовал ставить на ALM. В инструкции по установке сказано 
(взял из исходников, но у вас тоже она есть 
в /usr/share/doc, прикрепил на всякий случай к письму):
   0.  log in as root.
   1.  insmod -f 536epcore.o
   2.  insmod -f 536ep.o
   2a. you can start "hamregistry" at this point if you 
wish.
   3.  rm /dev/536ep
   4.  mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1   (note "240" is the 
default, if it does not 
       work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number 
is)
   5.  ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
   6.  start a comm application like minicom and use the 
modem.
   7.  see section 3 (International Users) for info on 
setting the correct 
       country settings.

Это вам собственно и надо сделать. Вот только у меня 
относительно пункта "4" были ньюансы - цифры были другими. 
Если так не получится - пишите. Попробую вспомнить что я 
писал за цифири.

1. LICENSE

IMPORTANT - read the file "LICENSE.txt" for the INTEL SOFTWARE LICENSE 
AGREEMENT BEFORE COPYING, INSTALLING OR USING.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Release Notes 

      This release supports 2.4.x kernels.

      This release is not compatible with kernels prior to 2.4.

      The 536EP corecode binary was compiled with gcc version 3.2

      v92 support added:  modem on hold AT command set,
      PCM upstream, v44, and quick connect are implemented.			 

      Linux Compatability tests are performed on the latest or previous 
      versions of the following distributions: Mandrake, RedHat, and SuSE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  INSTALLATION

Prerequisites:
   1. root access
   2. bash shell to run install scripts
   3. a 536EP modem
   4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.
      and programming development tools installed as well

6 steps to install
   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 536ep
   6. Type: make install


Please examine the 536ep-inst script if you have a different distribution.

The driver is split in two.  A serial driver and core driver.
The core driver must be loaded first since the serial driver depends on it.
The serial driver registers itself as character device 
   major number 240, minor number 1.


ATTENTION:  if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.
   Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.

   0.  log in as root.
   1.  insmod -f 536epcore.o
   2.  insmod -f 536ep.o
   2a. you can start "hamregistry" at this point if you wish.
   3.  rm /dev/536ep
   4.  mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1   (note "240" is the default, if it does not 
       work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number is)
   5.  ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
   6.  start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.
   7.  see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct 
       country settings.

4.  FILE DESCRIPTIONS

536ep-inst installation script to install 536ep modules and supporting files


files copied to /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/misc
   536epcore.o	driver core code module
   536ep.o	pseudo serial driver for 536ep, depends on 536epcore.o

files copied to  /etc/rc.d/...  (path differes per distribution)
   536ep-boot		boot scrip to start and stop 536ep modules

files copied to /usr/sbin
   hamregistry	hamregistry is the "registry" like tool that the modem uses to 
   get and store persistant data such as county info and profile strings.

files copied to /etc
   hamregistry.bin	file that stores the initial persistant data for modem.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  INTERNATIONAL USERS

hamregistry will store the last country setting you
set in the modem.

in minicom (or equivalent comm application)
the commmand to change country setting is "AT+GCI="
the command takes a t.35 country code in hexadecimal.
below is a list of currently supported t.35 country codes.
you can also put this "AT" command in the init string of
the comm application you are using.

if you are a CTR-21 country I think you should be able to 
choose a CTR-21 country on the list and be ok.  but 
that's no guarantee.
The same goes for countries that are "USA" compatable.
(this table also exist in the source file wwh_dflt.c that
ships with the 536epcore driver)

inspect the wwh_dflt.c file provided to find out what your country's t.35 code is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Security issues

the 536ep-inst and 536ep-boot file install the files and device nodes as 
root for the owner and group.  
this will cause problems for those who want to user the modem to dialout
using an account other than root.

In SuSE, "dialout" is the group used to install the files and device node.
This way, anyone belonging to the "dialout" group can use the modem to dialout.
(take a look at /etc/group)

I did not want the script to allow full access of the modem to everyone without
"root" knowing.

Edit the 536ep-boot and 536ep-inst scripts to fit your needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. 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.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.  What is the Hamregistry?
   The hamregistery is an application that stores data for the 536ep driver onto
   the disk.  hamregistry stores information from the driver that needs to 
   persist from reboot to reboot such as you current country setting.
      The 536ep-inst install script and the 536ep-boot script start this utility 
      automatically for you.
   If this tool is not present when the driver gets used your profile, 
   quickconnect, and current country setting will not be saved but the driver
   should still work fine.	The only step that would need to be done is to
   make sure that the driver is set to the correct country with 
   at+gci= (see section 5)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. What's v92 and v44?  

   a. modem on hold: (ISP and your ISP dialer must also support this)
      This will allow you to pause your ppp connection to answer an incoming
      call. You will need call waiting, dialer, and ISP support for this to 
      work.  When you are done with the call you can resume your ppp connection
      without having to reconnect.  The AT command set for this feature exist
      in the driver.

   b, pcm upstream: 
      (ISP must also support this, as of version 4.32 I
       dont know any ISP's that do)
      This will allow faster upload speeds.
      to enable: at+pig=0
      to disable: at+pig=1

   c. quickconnect:
      Once you make a call to a v92 modem, your phoneline characteristics are
      stored.  Whenever you make a new v92 connection it will use this data 
      to make the call negotiation  quicker (approx 10 seconds).
      to enable: at+pqc=0  at+pss=0
      to disable: at+pss=2

   d. v44: (ISP must also support this)
      A better compression protocol than v42 which can give you better transfer
      speeds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. The Hamregistry tool
   
   The hamregistry tool is used to provide persistance of settings across
   reboots.  The haminst and hamboot scripts automatically setup and start
   the hamregistry background task for the modem to use.
   The hamregistry tool has command line arguments for those who wish to 
   customize persistant settings.  To use these command lines
   you must first stop the driver with "bash hamboot stop".
   Once the driver has been stopped you may run hamregistry with one of these
   arguments to store into the /etc/hamregistry.bin persistance file:
   (supply value for items in < >)
      -mfg <Modem manufactures name>
      -mod <Modem model name>
      -hookflash  <0,1,2>
        hookflash method:  0=(default)without tone  1=with tone  2=reserved
      -v92rptopt  <0,1>
        control v92 reporting:   0=PCM upsteam only       1=(default) all v92
      -gpio_lpohd <0,1>
        Handset Hook detection:  0=not supported          1=(default)supported
      -currentcountry <t.35 code>

   This info is written to the /etc/hamregistry.bin file.
   If hamregistry.bin exists along with the installation files, haminst will
   copy it to /etc/hamregistry.bin when installing the modem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Known Bugs/Issues

   a. If you see this message
      "536ep:rs_open: DSP did not reset. try again or restart computer"
      and you KNOW you have a HaM modem installed
      Disable "PNP OS" in your bios.  There is a problem with the driver and 
      linux PNP.  After a time, Linux PNP will disable the card and the driver
      currently can not reenable itself.
   b. Be aware that the build replaces your 
      /lib/module/<kernver>//build/include/linux/version.h file with 
      /boot/vmlinuz.version.h
      (this is what Linus T. told me to do with a compiler error)
   c. There may be an incompatibility with DevFS. The 536ep device may be located
      in /dev/tts/536ep
      instead of /dev/536ep.  Be aware of this and link /dev/modem to the 536ep
      device that corresponds to your setup.
   e. Incase you are having problems making a ppp connection try using wvidal
      with this information below. execute the script and it will have wvdial
      make the ppp connection

   ------my script----------------------
   #! /bin/sh
   /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock asyncmap 00000000 \
      defaultroute debug /dev/modem 57600 \
      ipparam ppp0 linkname ppp0 \
      noauth \
      connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat bellsouth"

   ------my /etc/wvdial.conf section ---
   [Dialer bellsouth]
   Modem = /dev/modem
   Baud = 57600
   Init1 = ATZ
   Inti2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
   Dial Command = ATDT
   Phone = 6859500
   Username = myloginname
   Password = mysecretpassword
   #Ask Password = 1
   Stupid Mode = 0
