Hi,
I just have installed Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn on my
desktop PC at home and I have no success in
configuring the modem.
I enclosed herewith the ModemData.txt file.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Adrian

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in
/etc/modprobe* files
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Several modems are supported by drivers with ALSA, the
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture software.
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13
Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware

Primary PCI_id 14f1:2f12
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a
driver source package with full speed enabled is
available, but requires driver compiling. Read
Conexant.txt
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of
Conexant chipset modems.
From
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download
hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.20_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.20_15_generic
equivalent to 2.6.20-15-generic, your kernel version.
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See Testing.txt for details.

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
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions
may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders)
collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are
libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev).
The also required headers of package libc6 are
commonly installed by default.
If a driver compilation files with message including
some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation
to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the
following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD,
others may have to be found through
http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not
on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux
distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the
compile again.
