Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
I have downloaded and run scanmodem as you can see with the output file. I
then went to the dell website as recommended in modemdata.txt, or one of the
other output files. I retrieved the 64bit drivers from there, got them
unpacked and tried to install them but I still have nothing. I looked into
getting the driver from the linuxant site but it seemed to be the same as on
dell's. I am pretty new, so maybe I unpacked it in the wrong spot or
installed it impropperly, or need a 32bit driver.
Any help is greatly appreciated and include as many details about directory
locations and exact commands as possible.
Thanks,
Brad

scanModem update of: 2008_06_05
Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem
controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd
helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit
component
3) The hsfmodem and hcflinmodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are
x86_64 competent.
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files

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
DOCs/Conexant.txt
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full.tar.gz package only provides compiling
support

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 1002:437b.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 1002:437b does not host
a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1002:437b, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset
(hardware) type.

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details,
and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:

If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some

Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
