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
Start at
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to
find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux
distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have
within the
FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.24_19_generic
They can be found through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs
below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not
found, one of the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of
the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition
(home folder
is OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is,
with root/adm
permission:
sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
Support for Conexant chips hosted on High Definition Audio
cards may require
installation of additional packages, one of the
alsa-driver-linuxant
packages
on http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ At the same time
download the
alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch , in case it prove to be later
needed. During the
hsfmodem install, there will be a message if there is
necessary
installation of
alsa-driver-linuxant
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is,
with root/adm
permission:
sudo alsa* -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
There may a message that "Dependencies" are not
satisfied. In this case
the Ubuntu/Debian packages to be installed are
linux-libc-dev &
libc6-dev. Package
names may be different for other Linuxes. If not on your
install CD, these
packages can be searched for at http://packages.ubuntu.com.
After download,
they can be coinstalled with:
sudo dpkg -i li*.deb
Again try the alsa-driver-linuxant
There may be a message that the patch must be applied. In
this case get the
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch
See
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement
snd-hda-intel + its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem
installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
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.

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/2.6.24-19-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
needed. 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)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
