Yes, scanModem reports the following: Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem Writing DOCs/Intel.txt 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 From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k2.6.24_19_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See DOCs/Testing.txt for details. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt If there exists free drivers for Lenovo, that you would be great, but there is none that are known, only for Dell owners :( Regards, Antonio --- On Thu, 7/24/08, Mark Rogers <rogersma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Mark Rogers <rogersma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Mark U.S.A. kernel 2.6.24-19-generic > To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008, 7:43 AM > Running Ubuntu 8.0.4 on a Lenovo ThinkPad R61i laptop.
