Re: scanModem output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Your modem is a Conexant 0x14f12c06 HDA modem
Your CPU is an x86-64
Your Linux distribution is Fedora Core 9 (FC9)
Your kernel is 2.6.25.14-108.fc9
Follow the attached instructions BUT be careful, for your 64 bits processor there is no off the shelf installer.
You must use the GENERIC package to compile the driver.

Hey guys,


I attached the output of running scanModem on my Dell Latitude D630 Laptop.


Would you please help me to go further and

 If you do not already know, find out in your ModemData.txt if your modem is of 
type HSF or of type HCF.
 In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used.
 Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the 
 System Information section of ModemData.txt).
-Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
-Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen.
-Read README.
-Read INSTALLATION.
-Click DOWNLOAD.
-Accept conditions.
-Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver
            download page." and click on that link.
-I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC 
INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use 
it, and this is probably what you do not have yet, unless already connected
via ADSL or a local Ethernet network. 
Better Use the direct download page.
Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Using it instead of going step by step as outlined above will not save you any
time, on the contrary, because you will not know what to look for and do with 
it.
-Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel 
 (shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the
 matching file.
-Download the matching file.
-Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation
 instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded.
-If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer),
 copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space.
-Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions.

 NOTE:  the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This
is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to   
download on an other computer.
