Conexant Modem Kernel 2.6.7


Hi all

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.

D.

Hi,

I'm using a IBM thinkpad X40 which has a Conexant winmodem, it works fine with 2.6.7 kernel (from kernel.org, no patches).

I use the HSF driver from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/

In order to get 56k speed, You have to pay for a unlimit driver.... however there's a free version which limited the speed to 14.4k.

Hello

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

MODEM WORKING!!

Dear LQ users

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)

Hi,

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....



(I'm using kernel 2.6.8.1.)

but is it running at 56kps?
or just 14 kps?
if it's running at the full speed, then could you e-mail the driver to me?

I have the modem running at 56 KBPS

Excuse me, but I have been a bit busy.
Let me search for this driver ok?

Full working 56 kbps modem, free of charge

It was a previous version released by conexant., I don't know why, but now their versions support only 14 kbps

I was using Mandrake 9, it was on summer while I was on USA. So I don't know which driver is

All I know, is that it was an 'old' driver, when the license was free, that one was the ONLY (I probbed MANY) soft-modem driver that work

I think I found the driver in LQ!

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

hmm, you've got a problem bro

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

Good luck mate
