Dear Antonio, Thank you so much for your quick answer. I have reviewed the options available at Linuxant's and, sadly, there's no exact package for 2.38.11. In fact, the latest available package seems to match 2.31.17. Moreover, it seems to correspond to the x86, i.e., 32 bits kernel. As far as the web is concerned, I have two options: on the one hand, I can download the available package and try to install and use it (maybe I should cross my fingers?); on the other hand, I can download the generic package and do my best (not that much, for the time being, given my small experience) to get a proper driver compiled / installed. What would you recomend? In case I decide to use the generic package: * is it enough for me to have the proper headers installed or do I need to have the full kernel source? * given the fact I'm using the 64 bits system, shouldn't I use the x86_64 generic package? Thanks a lot in advance. -- Un saludo, Kind regards, Antonio Rodulfo Ingeniero Industrial, Consultor de Proyectos Industrial Engineer, Project Consultant 2011/10/6 Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx>: > Antonio, > > scanModem reports that your modem is supported by hsfmodem drivers. > The snd_hda_intel driver is for sound and for certain modems supported > by SLMODEMD variants. > > Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0: > Modem chipset detected on > NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition > Audio Controller " > CLASS=0403 > PCIDEV=8086:27d8 > SUBSYS=152d:0753 > IRQ=46 > HDA2=00:1b.0 > SOFT=8086:27d8.HDA > ArchivedChip=0x14f12bfa > CodecClass=14f1 > IDENT=hsfmodem > Driver=hsfmodem-drivers > > For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0 > 0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High > Definition Audio Controller > Primary device ID: 8086:27d8 > Subsystem PCI_id 152d:0753 > Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: > from Archives: 0x14f12bfa > > > > Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem > > > Writing DOCs/Intel.txt > > For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source > package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver > compiling.
