Thanks for the swift reply Antonio. Well originally I had a conexant chipset for a HCF modem that the linuxant group had drivers for, however those drivers ONLY worked on pre 3.x kernels so they broke when I upgraded. Dev team from Linuxant has informed me they are aware of the API break in the driver for the newer kernel and say they should fix it sometime soon. Meanwhile I dug up the Intel modem you see below to try and get it to work. So short answer I never should have upgraded!! :) Regards, Patrick On Tue, Jan 03, 2012 at 07:47:12PM -0600, Antonio Olivares wrote: > Patrick, > > I am unsure if that modem in particular is served by Phillipe's > driver.
