Re: driver installs and works correctly except it doesn't dial

Hi,

a newer version of alsa-driver-linuxant will be made available in the =

future to fix the compilation issue(s) on 2.6.32.x. In the meantime, you =

can try to manually patch and install alsa-driver 1.0.21 if you want. If =

you do, you will need to apply this patch:

http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/testing/alsa-driver-1.0.21-1.patch

against alsa-driver to be able to use the HSF driver with a Conexant HDA =

modem.

This patch is currently in testing and we especially welcome feedback if =

it works or not.

Regards,
