Manuel, Something was fishy from the start, it would be great if your modem were supported by SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz, however, running scanModem test option with your pci id's returns the following: [root@localhost scanModem]# ./scanModem test 8086:27d8 1025:012a Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8 Subsystem PCI_id 1025:012a Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: from Archives: Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem. ----------------------------------------- Support type needed or chipset: Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives: 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems. 2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for details, and to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ Writing Intel.txt 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.tx t Read Conexant.txt Writing Conexant.txt Writing Smartlink.txt I took a look at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php for Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8 Subsystem PCI_id 1025:012a but did not find that pci id in the linuxant page. Hope that Marv, can provide better advice than I have provided.
