Hi,
I tried downloading the modem driver from
www.linuxant.org and installing it, but it didnt work.
The system doesnt detect the modem at all... I dont
know what to do, whether to purchase a new modem
supported by linux or to keep on searching for the
drivers... can anyone please help me out?
i've attached the 'ModemData.txt' file too with this
mail.
Regards,
Ayush

Class 0780: 14f1:2215 Communication controller: Conexant Unknown device 2215
Primary PCI_id 14f1:2215
Support type needed or chipset: HCF.HSF
Formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available ONLY through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers. Read Conexant.txt for details.
and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. Driver speed is limited to
14,400 until a key is purchased. There is NO freeware alternative.
There are two support package types: hsfmodem and hcflinmodem.
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B reports a
problem and solution in stalling a key, after testing of the free low
speed download.
14f1:2215 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcflinodem package.
If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read Conexant.txt
for details and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with
SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 in the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
