Lorenzo,
May I kindly suggest to split the problem in two parts?
1-does the standard Linuxant driver for Ubuntu_7.10 work on your machine?
2-then, why does the Dell OEM version not work?
To answer 1, please remove whatever you have installed and follow the
instructions for installing the HSF modem at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers

Hi
Since I have kubuntu 7.10, I tried the version of the driver as reported
here:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.10/Issues/New_Conexant_Modem_Driver
but this makes my soundcard stop working (after reboot);
besides the modem itself does not seem to work at all...
during the installation I got this:
Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot
Note: HDA support not compiled in the driver (requires a 2.6.16 or later
kernel)
Note: kernel module snd-via82xx-modem overridden by hsfmc97via
Note: kernel module snd-intel8x0m overridden by hsfmc97ich hsfmc97sis
Note: kernel module snd-atiixp-modem overridden by hsfmc97ati
I don't know whether this is due to linux-backports-modules which I had
to install to make the sound card work (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller).
If I remove the hsf deb package the sound card goes back to life.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
thanks in advance
Lore
