Dell Conexant HSF Modem with Intrepid Ibex?

[warchief_ryan]

Dell has the drivers for the Conexant HSF Modem for Hardy but not Intrepid yet. Does anyone know if you can use the Hardy version drivers on Intrepid?

I tried compiling "hsfmodem-7.68.00.09oem", the make install goes fine but hsfconfig ends with "ERROR: Module Build Failed!".


The build log ends with,

i had luck with that:

- download the newest driver from linuxant (source version!)
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php

- download http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/g...0.18oem.tar.gz

- unpack both

- replace the /modules/imported directory in the linuxant-version with that from dell

- sudo make install
- sudo hsfconfig

Could you please elaborate on how to get this working?

Thanks!

sutupud,

Can you elaborate? I was able to get both versions (Dell version 7.68 and Linuxant version 7.80), and unpack them both (using the built in Archive Manager), and I see that the "modules/imported" directory is missing from the Linuxant version (at least in my case). However, I think you are missing a few integral steps between your "replace" and your "sudo make install".

In my case, I was using "hsfconfig" to build the kernel module. I installed the Linuxant version and then copied the missing "modules/imported" files from the Dell version directly in to my file system. I then tried running hsfconfig and received the same error message.

This might help.

At boot, my Dell Inspiron 6400 was throwing an error when it tried to compile the HSF modem driver. I fixed this by un-installing the old driver, then downloading the new driver which corresponds to my current kernel version.

Here's what I did:

Opened Synaptic - hit "Alt+F2" the type "gksu synaptic"
Searched for HSF modem.
Marked for removal & Apply

Then, visit http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/...ubuntu-x86.php
Following the instructions on that page I determined my kernel version and downloaded the corresponding HSF driver.
Once this was downloaded I installed it, the new driver compiles with no errors.

Good luck.

Hello and happy new year.

I have an dial up modem with a conexant chipset. For all UBUNTU version, it is really a problem to find a driver. The previous solutions (Dell or others) dont work. The Linuxant driver (free version at 14 kb) works, once install from source or from .deb.

I tried this solution posted in the forum (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...exant+intrepid) but I got compilation errors.

May be, I miss something in my conf. Below the log of the install for some help.

Thanks a lot. Xavier.

Excuse me to All,
I'm a newbie about Linux but what I can understand is I must pick up all what is under */modules directories of linuxant-version and copy it into */modules directories of Dell-version. OK??

Thanks in advance

I tried it but was not able to replace the /modules/imported directory in the linuxant-version with that from dell...
What is the command line you use?

Hi Riberra,
I used nautilus after removed modules directory from the linuxant-version, but it didn't work

I'm trying now to resolve the problem but I don't know....
