Primary device ID: 14f1:2f00
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
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

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 3.3.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 3.3.1
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 3.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.12-oci6.mdk-i586-up-1GB/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are n. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
