Peter, carefully read Conexant.txt. Do check to see if hsf modules reside by After loading of HSF drivers, there will be selective displayed by command: # /sbin/lsmod | grep hsf as for wvdial, wvdialconf, you may check Mandriva repositories or compile from source. check rpm bone and search for wvdial packages for Mandriva. >From source Download http://wvstreams.googlecode.com/files/wvstreams-4.4.1.tar.gz and http://alumnit.ca/download/wvdial-1.60.tar.gz run tar -zxvf wv* cd wvstreams-4.4.1/ ./configure make make install cd wvdial-1.60/ make make install Another option is to try KPPP, check each /dev/ttySH0..4?, and test them out individually till you get the one that works. Whichever option is easier for you do try them out and report back if successfull or if something did not work.
