New HCF.HSF device 8086:2668
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:2668 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW
Primary PCI_id 8086:2668
Support type needed or chipset: HCF.HSF

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a generic package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read Conexant.txt
The 14f1:2f00 chipset has a free support package: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180632
Otherwise formal support for Conexant chipset modems is available ONLY through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers with a free trial package suporting minimal 14K speed, with purchase fo software key needed for full 56K service.
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 are two support package types: hsfmodem and hcflinmodem for older HCF modems
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B reports a
problem and solution in stalling a key, after testing of the free low
speed test package.
8086:2668 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.
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.

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 Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were:
build-essential curl debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.1 gettext git-core gitk
html2text intltool-debian kernel-package kernel-wedge libc6-dev
libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl libstdc++6-4.1-dev
linux-libc-dev po-debconf rcs tcl8.4 tk8.4
