Vaclav,
Apply the instructions attached to this mail for a Linuxant driver for a
Conexant HCF modem for an Ubuntu 2.6.20-15-generic kernel.
Make sure to use HCF, not HSF.

Do use the following as the email Subject Line:

This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) spackage providing audio support
on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. For modems using the
snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are sometimes
necessary to achieve function. See for example:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02144.html

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.

If you do not already know, find out in your ModemData.txt if your modem is of
type HSF or of type HCF.
In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used.
Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the
System Information section of ModemData.txt).
-Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
-Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen.
-Read README.
-Read INSTALLATION.
-Click DOWNLOAD.
-Accept conditions.
-Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver
download page." and click on that link.
-I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC
INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use
it, and this is what you do not have yet. Use the direct download page.
Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Using it will not save you any time, on the contrary, because you will not know
what to look for and do with it.
-Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel
(shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the
matching file.
-Download the matching file.
-Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation
instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded.
-If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer),
copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space.
-Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions.
NOTE: the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This
is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to
download on an other computer.
