Peter,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported through hsfmodem drivers:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 04:06.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem"
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=14f1:2f20
SUBSYS=14f1:2000
IRQ=10
HDA2=00:14.2
HDA2=01:00.1
IDENT=hsfmodem
Driver=hsfmodem-drivers
For candidate modem in: 04:06.0
0780 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem
Primary device ID: 14f1:2f20
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
Modem support packages from Linuxant include resources for compiling drivers.
If an installer package matching your kernel_version is not provided,
just install a generic code package.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.32_29_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_29_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
Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
There would no be no driver available for your kernel, Linuxant
stopped making exact drivers for each kernel, the last ones available
are for 2.6.31-? kernels under Ubuntu. Instead you are to get the
generic driver and build it against your kernel
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.
