Daniel,
This case looks pretty much as yours:

Thus please try the Linuxant HSF driver first, as explained in that
note, or in the attached file.

Hi,
I have a Fujitsu Lifebook and scanmodem tool tells me I have an ALI
5451 but does not output any instructions as to what to do to get it
working. I'm attaching the scanModem output.
Also, looking at /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1 it gives:
daniel@xadrez:/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0$ more mc97#1-1

Does that mean I have a ALI modem with SIL chipset? What do I do now?
Thanks
Daniel

If you do not already know, find out in your ModemData.txt if your modem is of
type HSF or of type HCF.
In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used.
Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the
System Information section of ModemData.txt).
-Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
-Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen.
-Read README.
-Read INSTALLATION.
-Click DOWNLOAD.
-Accept conditions.
-Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver
download page." and click on that link.
-I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC
INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use
it, and this is probably what you do not have yet, unless already connected
via ADSL or a local Ethernet network.
Better Use the direct download page.
Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Using it instead of going step by step as outlined above will not save you any
time, on the contrary, because you will not know what to look for and do with
it.
-Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel
(shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the
matching file.
-Download the matching file.
-Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation
instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded.
-If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer),
copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space.
-Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions.
NOTE: the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This
is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to
download on an other computer.
