536ep based modem with 2.6

Hello!
I have 536ep based modem. I can get it to work with 2.4 my kernel.
But I want to change to 2.6 kenel and the only thing that holds me back is this modem.
The driver is made out of two .o files. If I try to load 2.4 modules into 2.6 kernel it says
'wrong module format'
If I try to compile modules for 2.6 kernel it gives me errors...
Does anyone has any idea about how I can fix it or when Intel will come up with 2.6 drivers?
Thanks

Hello!
i have just got a intel 536ep modem with the ambient chipset, but when i install the driver that i downloaded from intel website. it tells me that there is a error that it couldn't identify out which distribution that i have( which is gentoo). and the installation just aborted and i couldn't figure out how should i set it up for gentoo linux.
Can you tell me how did you set up your modem to work, CatSC? Thanks in advance. by the way, i am using kernel 2.4.20, that comes as the default kernel of gentoo 1.4. and the modem is a internal.
