John, Before you attempt to do anything, you need to get compiler & kernel source/kernel headers: The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.4 and a compiler is not installed linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! But it also tells you how you may fix this: 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 try get those packages, and then follow the directions provided here: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:0b.1: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: Rockwell International Riptide HCF 56k PCI Modem" CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=127a:4321 SUBSYS=1235:4321 IRQ=9 IDENT=HCF.Riptide For candidate modem in: 00:0b.1 0780 Communication controller: Rockwell International Riptide HCF 56k PCI Modem Primary device ID: 127a:4321 Support type needed or chipset: HCF.Riptide Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives. 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 Under 2.4.n kernels install both the RIPTIDE and HCF or HSF drivers, otherwise the modem will *not* work. http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php explains why this modem which REQUIRES the additional installation of a Riptide driver. Under 2.6.n kernels, the hsfmodem package may provide modem support. But there will be no audio functions. See http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php?PHPSESSID=19b31933499f87b5b150db2315f714bd 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.
