Hi there.
I'm trying to get my laptop's modem working with Ubuntu. It's integrated, so
purchasing another modem is out of the question (unfortunately...)
So far I've tried the hsfmodem_7.68.00.09oem_i386.deb package, with and without
the alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.16.1-1_all.deb.
I also downloaded (but don't remember from where, sorry) the files
hsfmodem_7.68.00.11full_k2.6.24_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
and
hsfmodem_7.68.00.11full_k2.6.24_19_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
(I'm using 2.6.24-16-generic from ubuntu).
The most I've managed to do: install the package (in case of the first one, it
seems it recompiles itself for the current kernel). Then, I lose the audio
(alsa/snd-hda-codecs stops loading with an undefined symbol error). hsfconfig
reports that no modem has been detected (it suggests me to reboot, i've done it,
same result), and still no modem.
I'm attaching my ModemData.txt...
Thanks for your help.

The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

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_16_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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/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
