Conexant driver
Lot of people who change from Win***s
to Linux have problems with their modems what use chipset Conexant. I
have same
kind of modem and here I would like to provide help for those who are
fighting
right now the same problem, but not only this here You can download the
driver
for the modem too, true that this is only a beta version, but working
well and
it is stable, but who wants can download the original driver from the
homepage
http://www.linuxant.com , but
I guess this
is far from the thoughts of the free software.
<>Let start on the beginning, the Linux has some problems
at
recognizing the type of the modem usually, so for sure please check the
documentation of Your modem to ensure You use proper driver.
When You know which one do You own than download Your driver:
HSF
driver: hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700.tar.gz
HCF
driver: hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02090200.tar.bz2
From now You only need to do so much:
cd <the folder where You got the archive file>
tar xzf /patch/to/the/archive/hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700.tar.gz
cd hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700.tar.gz
make install
hsfconfig
cd
cd dev
<>ln –s tyySHSF0 /dev/modem
echo "hsfserial"
>>/etc/modules/AUTOLOAD reboot or modprobe hsfserial |
From now Your modem should work in case You are using UHU
Linux note that You cant get connected via UHU dialer You need to use
KPPP,
here two things has to be changed in the properties, uncheck wait for
dial ton
and modem should be driven by software not hardware.
At the HCF You should work same way but I have never tried
it…
Lot of luck and thanks for the
help of Horváth Zsolt and Tersánszky Csaba.
