Folks, I am trying to help Patrick get connected with Fedora 13 using conexant modem. Patrick, did you get the driver: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full-1.i386.rpm.zip If you did, then did you install with METHOD A: BINARY RPM PACKAGE (*.{arch}.rpm) If you have obtained the driver package in RPM format: 1. install the rpm with "rpm -i hsfmodem-{version}.{arch}.rpm" 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 generic RPM from source, you can get the TAR package and run: "rpmbuild -tb hsfmodem-{version}.tar.gz" (if rpmbuild is not found, you might have to install the rpm-build package or if you have an older RPM version, try "rpm --rebuild ..."). If you want a pre-compiled package for the currently running kernel, you can try "make rpmprecomp" in the top directory. as provided in instructions here: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php You have installed the driver successfully because the lines show something: /etc/udev/rules.d/00-hsf.rules:KERNEL=="ttySHSF0", SYMLINK="modem" Within /etc/modprobe.conf files: /etc/modprobe.conf:install snd-via82xx-modem /bin/true # temporarily disabled by hsf - conflicts with hsfmc97via /etc/modprobe.conf:install snd-atiixp-modem /bin/true # temporarily disabled by hsf - conflicts with hsfmc97ati /etc/modprobe.conf:alias /dev/modem /dev/ttySHSF /etc/modprobe.conf:install /dev/ttySHSF /sbin/modprobe hsfpcibasic2; /sbin/modprobe hsfpcibasic3; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ich; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97via; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ali; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ati; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97sis; [ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/hsfusbcd2.ko ] && /sbin/modprobe hsfusbcd2; /sbin/modprobe snd_hda_intel; [ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/snd-hda-codec-hsfmodem.ko ] && /sbin/modprobe snd-hda-codec-hsfmodem; /bin/true Within any ancient /etc/devfs files: Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files: alias /dev/modem /dev/ttySHSF probeall /dev/ttySHSF hsfpcibasic2 hsfpcibasic3 hsfmc97ich hsfmc97via hsfmc97ali hsfmc97ati hsfmc97sis hsfusbcd2 snd_hda_intel snd-hda-codec-hsfmodem Will CC: to Linuxant Support Jonathan.

The expert on modem software for Linux is "Support (Jonathan)" <modem.support@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 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: 2.6.34.6_47.fc13.i686.PAE 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: dpkg -i hsf*.deb while for .rpm suffix it is, with: rpm -i hsf*.rpm 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: 4.4.4 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.4 linux-headers-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686.PAE resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: 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 pppd properties: -r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 328104 Jul 13 13:16 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options lock 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 For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ ; get faxing.tar.gz It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
