Hi,

with the error message:

---
ERROR: Can't stop the Conexant HSF softmodem driver!
---

a reboot will be required since the HSF driver modules are stuck in the kernel for an unknown reason. This is a sign of a serious issue, likely a partial crash in the kernel.

Please also be careful about the liberal use of Ctrl-C to abort operations, please wait long enough to let the scripts end normally. Since some modules are stuck in the kernel, it is possible that using Ctrl-C was necessary since the scripts are probably stuck while running a modprobe related tool.

It is also important to note that it is normal that the sound mixer applet and any programs using sound to be killed when alsa-driver-linuxant is being installed, this is necessary to start using the new drivers. However, the HSF driver was designed to coexist peacefully with the sound drivers if you have alsa-driver-linuxant installed (HDA modems specific), so installing the HSF driver should not kill the sound in this case.

Like Marvin suggested, we will need more information to see the exact source of the problem. While alsa-driver-linuxant is installed as well as the HSF driver, please send to support@xxxxxxxxxxxx the file generated by 'sudo hsfconfig --dumpdiag'.

Run
$ sudo hsfconfig --help

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:     2.6.28_11_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-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.28_11_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.3
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3

 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers,
and possibly others.


 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
  make utility - /usr/bin/make
  Compiler version 4.3
  linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-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
