Success: Conexant HSF modem in Sony laptop

[ipc]

I have tried to remaster one cd with my win-modem driver and config file what have been tested ok in my hdd-installed system.
but when i boot up with this CD,the modem can't be accessed.
it's sure that modules have been probed.
and in this condition, hsfconfig can't modify the file on the cd....

Great job EPS! I followed your method on my dell computer and finally got my Conexant HSF modem work.

garyng: If you install from .rpm or .deb, it's not far away.
The question is: when will hardwaremanufactors support linux?

And I prefer to install from tar.bz2, so I can take more influence on the process.
Installing from source often means, that the same sourcecode is used for very different unix-like platforms, and you may optimize for size or speed, or debugging - however you want.

I recently installed a testversion of .Net.
Drive C: 300 M free space
Dirve D: 3 G free space.

Though I told to use Drive D: for installation, it failed because insufficient space on drive C:
And no way round.
Glorious windows-way to install without involving the user too much!

Back to hardware (conexant/ linuxant-modem):
I switched to knoppix 3.4 recently and installed a new kernel (2.6.4) as well.
Since the kernel changed the module-interface, the old driver didn't work.
I downloaded a new one, but linuxant changed their licence politic.
You may get the driver in a crippled-version for free, but it is restricted to 14.400 speed.
Or you pay a small fee (10$ or 20$ as far as I know).
I tried the new (crippled) driver, but it didn't work.
But I had changed my telephone-provider and switched to adsl, so I don't need the new driver, and so I stopped investigating the errorcodes, settings, and so on.

But keep this in mind when changing to kernel 2.6!
