If your distribution/architecture is not listed you should try one of the generic packages with source
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/...ds.php#generic
identify your modem chipset:To identify your modem chipset, you can try the Conexant List Modem Tool below, scanModem (a modem detection script by Marv Stodolsky) or Linux command-line utilities (such as "/sbin/lspci", "/sbin/lspci -nv", or "cat /proc/pci") to list the devices present on your system.
BEWARE: some PCI IDs, notably 127A:1025 and :2005 were used for both HCF and HSF modems, so you might have to try both drivers to find out which one works.
Here we will work on Conexant HCF Modem.
Download driver from this site:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/...ds-rh-i686.php
Please choose only the package matching exactly your distribution and system's kernel version, this above is mine selection.
You can determine your kernel version with the following case-sensitive shell command:
uname –r
with Redhat-9 current version is thins 2.4.20-8
If your exact kernel version is not listed, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest available kernel for your distribution. If you are using a special enterprise/secure/SMP or custom (self-compiled) kernel, or the package does not work, you can try one of the generic
packages with source instead. This below site (

HCF driver installation
(Optional) Please see the README file for general information.
BEFORE INSTALLING
Remove any old HCF modem drivers, either manually or by running
For PCI HCF: rpm -e hcfpcimodem"
For USB: rpm -e hcfusbmodem
or "make uninstall" if using the RPM or tar versions of this package respectively.
note: if you had an older version of this package, it might have been installed under the previous "hcflinmodem" name. In that case, run "rpm -e hcflinmodem" (or "make uninstall" in the *old* package tree).
1-If you obtained the driver as a ".zip" file, extract it first with
type your download file name if deffirent,
unzip hcfpcimodem-1.00lnxt03091200free_k2.4.20_8-1rh.i686.rpm.zip
fter unzip file will be in rpm format.
Or If you have obtained the driver package in RPM format:
install the rpm with "rpm -i hcfpcimodem-1.00lnxt03091200free_k2.4.20_8-1rh.i686.rpm"
("rpm -i hcfusbmodem-{version}.{arch}.rpm" for the USB version)
use this if u have Tar Pakage otherwise skip)
(If you have obtained the driver package in tar format:
1. extract the package with "tar -xzf hcfpcimodem-{version}.tar.gz" ("tar -xzf hcfusbmodem-{version}.tar.gz" for the USB version)
2. change to the package directory with "cd hcfpcimodem-{version}" ("cd hcfusbmodem-{version}" for the USB version)
3. run "make install" from the top of the package directory. 4. run "hcfpciconfig" ("hcfusbconfig" for the USB version) to complete the installation and configure your modem.
(Alternatively to this whole procedure you may generate RPMS from the tar package using rpmbuild -ta hcf{pci|usb}modem-{version}.tar.gz") )
AFTER INSTALLATION
If an error occurred during installation, please see the sections 'BUGS' and 'REPORTING PROBLEMS' below
Use this command for PCI: hcfpciconfig for help hcfpciconfig --help
Use this command for USB: hcfusbconfig for help hcfusbconfig --help
hcfpciconfig
Will start configuration and show like this if modem find:
The /dev/modem alias to (Symlink ) points to /dev/ttySHCF0
Once the modem is installed and configured, you may access it as /dev/ttySHCF0 (or ttySHCFUSB0 for the USB version). Additionally, you can use it via the symbolic link /dev/modem (equivalent to ttySHCF0 / ttySHCFUSB0). If you have more than one HCF modem, the second will be available as /dev/ttySHCF1, the third as /dev/ttySHCF2 and so forth.
Please review the permissions on the device nodes with "ls -l" to ensure that they are adequate for your system.
