Kirsten, Download the package I referenced and follow the instructions given. If you encounter difficulties, please reply back to list as more people can see your message and try to help find a way to get the driver working. You may get a generic package and build it. Instructions are ther in Conexant/Linuxant site: 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.
