I have downloaded it from
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/...l_i386.deb.zip

but it just dials and can't connect to any ISP and shows me authentication error message.(Wrong username or password)

someone tells me your driver doesn't match with your kernel but I cant find any driver for my kernel.

The pppd daemon died unexpectedly!
Exit status: 1
See 'man pppd' for an explanation of the error codes or take a look at the kppp FAQ on
http://developer.kde.org/~kppp/index.html

pppd log:

Apr 21 00:01:33 debian pppd[4794]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
Apr 21 00:01:33 debian pppd[4794]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Apr 21 00:01:33 debian pppd[4794]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)

/etc/ppp/options contains the auth option.
Try to put a # comment in front and try again.

Or

Try add noauth to the pppd arguments in kppp' setup dialog
