Dear Ant, Thanks for the link. I can now see that scanModem reports that your modem is potentially supported by the hsfmodem driver package by Linuxant: In the supported page by Linuxant: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php USB ID 148D:1671 (Creative Modem Blaster V.92 USB DE5671-1) USB ID 148D:1672 (Creative Modem Blaster V.92 USB DE5673-1) ========================================== Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 004: Modem chipset detected on SLOT="Bus 004 Device 002:" NAME=" " bus=004 USBmodemID=148d:1671 IDENT=hsfmodem Driver=hsfmodem For a detailed USB cellphone usage report, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03240.html For candidate modem in: 004 Primary device ID: 148d:1671 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. Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc) These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver, if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver. The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support 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: 3.4.9 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: dpkg -i hsf*.deb while for .rpm suffix it is, with: rpm -i hsf*.rpm Read DOCs/Conexant.txt Writing DOCs/Conexant.txt The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.7.1 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.7 linux-headers-3.4.9 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: linux-headers-3.4.9 If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev 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 ========================================== Visit: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php accept the terms of the license, then download: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full/hsfmodem_7.80.02.06full_i386.deb.zip and see if it compiles and runs on Knoppix or on Ubuntu? The instructions on Linuxant page: 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. http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php I hope this package works, because there could be a few gotchas as the driver may not be compatible for newer kernels? If you run into trouble with the driver let us know and hopefully we can see how we can help.
