Re: fsn, United Kingdom Kernel 3.0.0-13-server

Simon,

scanModem reports that your modem is potentially supported through
hsfmodem drivers by Linuxant:

Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem


Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

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 driver=
s.
If an installer package matching your kernel_version  is not provided,
just install a generic code package.

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k3.0.0_13_server_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.

 The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above
procedures are not adequate.

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 File=
Name,
your KernelVersion:     3.0.0_13_server
They can be found through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/download=
s.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:
 sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
 rpm -i hsf*.rpm
 Read DOCs/Conexant.txt

Don't know yet for sure if the Conexant drivers are updated to compile
vs newer 3.X kernels and/or it they have voice capabilities?

Regards,


Antonio
