Antonio, scanModem reports that you need hsfmodem drivers: For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0 0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I Primary device ID: 8086:293e Subsystem PCI_id 103c:360b Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: from Archives: Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem 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/full for eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc) These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver, if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver. The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support 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: 2.6.25.5_1.1_default 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: 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: dpkg -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: 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: wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Read DOCs/Conexant.txt Regards, Antonio On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 3:31 PM, Antonio M Chimuzu <achimuzu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I followed instructions on how to get my modem to work. > Please help > > -- > António Chimuzu > Lecturer; FHSS - Africa University (www.africau.edu) > > Old Mutare site off Nyanga Road > Mutare - P.O.
