Elias, Complementing Antonio's guidance. At http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-fc9-x86.php the closest match to your kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 is the driver package hsfmodem-7.68.00.13full_k2.6.25.14_108.fc9.i686-1fdr.i686.rpm.zip If you upgrade to the 2.6.25.14_108.fc9.i686, you can use that package with already compiled drivers. Otherwise follow Antonio's guidance. Please send emails to the List, not to me.
