My machine locks up when I try to install modem driver...

I'm pretty new to Linux, and have installed mandrake 10.1. I am on a Dell Inspiron 5150 with a Conexant modem. I verified my kernel version by typing uname -r per the instructions on the website, and downloaded the 2.6.8.1-12mdksmp driver file. When I try to install the .rpm via the console, my machine totally locks up and I have to power down and boot in again. If I click on the .rpm file to install, same results. I've tried also running the cnxtinstall.run file. If I do this it says removing the driver is necessary before installing it, so it makes me think that the driver was installed by the .rpm. When it gets to the point of installing the driver again after uninstalling it, it locks the machine again. I am using Kppp to try to query the modem, /dev/modem (/dev/ttySHSF0 does not exist in the list), but it says "unable to open modem". Thanks for any help. _______________________________________________ hsflinux mailing list [email protected] https://www.linuxant.com/mailman/listinfo/hsflinux
