See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180632 Otherwise 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. 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 2.6.18-4-686 in the filename if possible. These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling. Read Conexant.txt Writing Conexant.txt Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: kernel-source-2.6.18-4-686 For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may be needed to support driver compiling Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
