The PCI slot 03:01.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

For candidate modem in PCI bus: 03:01.0
Class 0780: 14f1:2f00 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k HSFi Modem
Primary PCI_id 14f1:2f00
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
Freeware support may be available for a few Conexant chipset modems
with support confirmed only for the PCI_id chipset 14f1:2f00.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180632
Otherwise formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available ONLY through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers. Read Conexant.txt for details.
and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. Driver speed is limited to
14,400 until a key is purchased. There is NO freeware alternative.
There are two support package types: hsfmodem and hcflinmodem.
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B reports a
problem and solution in stalling a key, after testing of the free low
speed download.
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.27_7_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.27_7_generic equivalent to 2.6.27-7-generic, your kernel version.
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 Testing.txt for details.
