Read DOCs/Conexant.txt 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 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 DOCs/Testing.txt for details. The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate. 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 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: 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 Read DOCs/Conexant.txt Writing DOCs/Conexant.txt 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 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 Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
