Isaac,
scanModem reports two different CXT
PCIDEV=8086:266d
SUBSYS=14f1:5423
PCIDEV=104c:8038
SUBSYS=1028:0182
The first one of which is supported through hsfmodem drivers:

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type
using hsfmodem software.
CXTnn is a generic for all CXTnumbers, with Linuxant hsfmodem
software support.
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
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
For all code packages from Linuxant.com, either a driver set matching
the boot kernel will be installed,
or the drivers will first be compiled and then installed. The expert
on modem software for Linux is
"Support (Jonathan)" <modem.support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full_k2.6.32_24_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: 2.6.32_24_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, the needed drivers
will be auto compiled anyway. Alternatively, 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
Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The package for :
2.6.32_24_generic
will not be found. Download instead a generic source driver and build
it, get the deb one and run the instructions provided there
(http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php):
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full/hsfmodem_7.80.02.06full_i386.deb.zip
========================================================================
METHOD B: DEBIAN PACKAGE (*.deb)
If you have obtained the driver package in DEBIAN format:
1. install the package with "dpkg -i hsfmodem_{version}_{arch}.deb",
if apt-get or some other tool hasn't already done it for you.
2. if necessary, run "hsfconfig" to complete the installation, enter
license information, or to change your modem's configuration.
If you need to rebuild the Debian generic package from source, you can
get the TAR package, and from the top directory run: "make debdist". A
pre-compiled DEB package for the currently running kernel can be built
using "make debprecomp" instead.
AFTER INSTALLATION
If an error occurred during installation, please see the sections
'BUGS' and 'REPORTING PROBLEMS' below.
Once the modem is installed and configured, you may access it as
/dev/ttySHSF0. Additionally, you can use it via the symbolic link
/dev/modem (equivalent to ttySHSF0). If you have more than one HSF
modem, the second will be available as /dev/ttySHSF1, the third as
/dev/ttySHSF2 and so forth.
Please review the permissions on the device nodes with "ls -l" to
ensure that they are adequate for your system.
The "hsfconfig" command can be used to change certain modem
configuration options or recompile (generic packages only) the kernel
modules after installation. Run "hsfconfig --help" for usage
information.
LICENSE KEYS / REGISTRATION
To enable your modem's full functionality (high-speed 56k data and
FAX), a license registration key must be obtained from Linuxant and
entered with "hsfconfig --license".
Without a proper license key, the modem can only operate in FREE mode,
limited to a maximum speed of 14.4Kbps (V.32bis) and the FAX
functionality will not be available.
