For Codec: Conexant ID 2c06, with chipset 14f12c06, the hsfmodem package is correct if it can be made to work. Jonathan will have to provide guidance. I won't be on Linux for another week, but the type of procedure needing to do the uninstall is as follows: Do the Rescue CD boot. $ sudo su root Mount the Ubuntu partition of the hard disk on (say) /media/ Do $ chroot --help for some guidance on "faking" a new / point. The command to do the uninstall is something like: # chroot /media hsfconfig --uninstall # chroot /media dpkg -r hsfmodem_7.68.00.14full_k2.6.27_7_generic or perhaps # chroot /media dpkg -r hsfmodem_7.68.00.14full_k2.6.27_7_generic_ubuntu MarvS On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 2:33 PM, acanonaco@xxxxxxxxx <acanonaco@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The attached ModemData.txt is rather obscure to me, but I thought (perhaps wrongly) I had to install hsfmodem.
