or, of course, you can always reboot your machine with the 32 bits
kernel supplied in the distribution, and all your 32 bits programs will
work, but those compiled in 64 bits will fail.
I agree that rebooting just to connect a modem is clumsy.

Hi Jacques,
Thanks for the reply,
I did notice, though I was not sure, that might be the driver i586 doesnot
work on x86_64. Sorry, as I'm new to Linux, is there a way or how can I
running the driver in 32 bit mode on x86_64 ?

Rudy,
I assume that you have downloaded
hsfmodem-7.68.00.04full_k2.6.18.2_34_default-1suse.i586.rpm
from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
While doing so, have you noticed that this driver is for the i386
platform, of which i586 is a member, but not the 64 bits x86_64 in your
computer.
So, have you performed the attempt which failed in 32-bits mode?
If you did, were you root when trying to use the modem?

Hi,
I am having problem getting the internal modem to work on Compaq Presario
V3430.
I have downloaded scanmodem and run it. Attached is the ModemData.txt
From ModemData.txt (and from reading the archives list), I understand my
modem is Conexant HSF modem. I downloaded the driver from linuxant
hsfmodem-7.68.00.04full_k2.6.18.2_34_default-1suse.i586.rpm
I installed the driver using YAST. After installation there is
/dev/ttySHSF0
/dev/ttySHSF1
and so on
with softlink /dev/modem --> /dev/ttySHSF0
but I cannot make it work
Running #wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf shows
ttySHSF0<Info>: Device or resource busy
One thing I noted: after installing hsf driver, the notebook audio
doesnot work. The audio is normal again when I uninstall the hsf driver.
I run the presario with OpenSuse 10.2 x86_64 (64 bit).
Can someone help me....
Thank you
