Michael, Do you have an independent info source that there is a Conexant modem on your System, possible in the Subsystem of PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:11.6 1106:3068 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem Controller ---------------- Return any info from Microsoft diagostics. See Softmodem.txt for instructions. The hsfmodem drivers as is cannot support either of your modems, and they may interfere. So your first step is $ sudo hsfconfig --uninstall Then reboot and run $ sudo ./scanModem to assess if the hsfmodem package removal has cleaned up the problem with PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:11.6 1106:3068 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem ---- the [ 49.741482] hsfvia: probe of 0000:00:11.6 failed with error -5 Also after hsfmodem software removal return the output of $ lspci -s 00:11.6 -nv to provide the Subsystem info. -------------------------------------- If not a Conexant type, this modem would normally be supported by the snd-via82xx-modem driver, which Ubuntu installs by default plus the slmodemd helper. When you report back, provide some additional information on the PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:0e.0 11c1:044e 1235:044e Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem ----- by providing the output of: $ lspci -s 00:0e.0 -nv In addition to the new ModemData.txt MarvS scanModem Maintainer On Jan 5, 2008 7:28 AM, Michael McGinnis <mcbooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
