Is anybody able to use his/her Conexant Winmodem on the Kernel 2.6.7? If yes, I'm grateful for any hint and/or link. I think the drivers/modules just don't work.
I had no problem using the 2.4.26 Kernel.
I will appreciate if you can tell me the way in which you installed your driver
I installed it (the free 14 k/sec version), but after I 'successfully' connect to the internet, the system won't transmit a single byte to the net (ping, email, chat, browsing... etc)
I'll really appreciate if you could help me here, since I would really like this machine to work with Linux

What sey your ifconfig, before you dialing 2 ISP, and after?
I finnaly made the modem work with a previous version (full 56 kb) of the Conexant Modem.
Thanks everyone for your support.
I don't remember were I downloaded the previous (56 k, fully working) version of the driver, but I'm sure that's the only one that works (the 14 kb demo driver didn't worked for me)
are you talking about using kernel 2.6.x or 2.4.x?
if it's kernel 2.6.x, please post the steps on howto get it working in Linux.
This will be a really helpful thing for the free-linux-driver peps
yes please find out where you found your driver,, haha lol! it's a revolution if you made your conexant under 2.6.* working...Please do it...You will help alot..

if you really got the driver working, why don't u tell us how?
maybe you are buzy, but please post the steps.
so linux can become free of charge again!
I don't know about abaez... but I just download the source package, extract it and do a normal "make install", then run "hsfconfig", answer a few questions, then I can access the modem with /dev/ttySHSF0... That's all! Nothing special....
Yes..........
That's all, if you had done the full 56k to work under 2.6.* kernels.......
Please post where you downloaded the source as soon as possible......
Becasue possibly it is not free now!
Thanks alot to all of Linux Addictives
thanx for the reply
the biggest question around is how do you get it working with kernel version : 2.6.x
we already know how to get it work with 2.4.x since it's written for 2.4.x
if you are not sure which kernel you are using, just post the output of "uname -r"
it might required you to be root
it's either the modem, or the new kernel (in other words, the modem, or the hibernation feature)
I'd go for the 2.4 kernel, works just fine, ACPI works, sound works... it's really nice
I would really like to have the 2.6 working, but it's too difficult to install, the system never read the /etc/modprobe.conf file
I'll appreciate if you know a good tutorial for RedHat 9
