Marv,


You missed what Frank eaxctly asked:

Please watch these two lines at the location which I flagged:

hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.31_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.31_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
                                ^
scanModem and your mail to which I respond now say  02.02
while on the Linuxant Web site there is 02.05 and there is no 02.02

That's ALL there is in this thread.
"Cut and paste" from ModemData.txt won't just find the file ...

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.31_15_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 & Conexant.txt for details.

I've recently installed Ubuntu karmic (9.10) on a Dell Latitude X1 to be

 I've installed wvdial using the synaptic pkg manager and run scanModem, see
ModemData.txt attached.  It suggests downloading

Please advise.  I am new to linux but used unix in the '80s.  Thanks.

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

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.31_15_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:     2.6.31_15_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

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: 4.4.1
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1

 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 4.4
  linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
       $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
       sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
       sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting
be necessary.
