hsfmodem installation
 

Hi,
I am trying to install a D-link's hsfmodem, (provided by D-Link) from a tar.gz file. I installed it by using make install after that trying to configure by running hsfconfig. The output is as follows.
--------------------------------------------------
Linux HSF softmodem drivers, version 4.06.06.02

No pre-built HSF modules are available for your exact kernel:
Linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl-i686-RedHat-1-MODVERS

Assuming that a C compiler and proper kernel header files are present
on your system, we will now attempt to re-compile the modules.

Where is the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[/usr/src/linux]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

do you know the answer?.
Thanks
Ras

try this link maybe to get an updated driver for ur modem. http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
check u have a compiler installed in redhat rpm -q gcc
if u r updating ur driver type rpm -e hsfmodem or make uninstall (If rpm or tar) to remove ur old driver first.

either way u can try installing the package for ur driver with the command
rpm -i hsfmodem-{version}.{arch}.rpm from the local directory u saved the package to. (if it is an rpm package)

then if necessary u can run hsfconfig to complete the installation

if its a tar package then u can run
rpmbuild -tb hsfmodem-{version}.tar.gz

When ur modem is installed u can access it as
/dev/ttySHSF0

u can also try the command hsfconfig --help

when u get connected if u r still having problems u can check out the status of ur link using
cat /proc/driver/hsf/0/lastcallstatus

Hello ras123,
the last stage of the install asks you about you kernel source and its location, usually, /usr/src/linux

You ought to have installed of course your kernel source corresponding to your linux distribution and current kernel, if you're running red hat search on your install cds for a package called kernel-source-something.i386.rpm

Good luck!!

I haven't directory like /usr/src/linux and usr/src contains only a directory redhat and it contains the folders BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS ( All are currently empty ). So is this path correct /usr/src/redhat ?. But I think that path not worked. Or Do I need to install package kernel-source-*.i386.rpm?.
I am using Fedora Core 1.


Also I tried by rpmbuild -tb hsfmodem-{version}.tar.gz to build an rpm but that also failed due to some dependecies like rpm-lib, I didn't find it anywhere in My CD's.

I Instlled kernerl-source, but failed due to - Lot of errors . From the file /tmp/hsfconfig-recomp.log.3316

Hi ras,

Aren't thet $$$??? I have the beta versions of it.. But currently with the
2.4.23 kernel, it can't seem to compile. It used to compile fine when I
patched serial_core.c at line 1073

from

[original]
down(&state->count_sem);
spin_lock_irqsave(&info->lock, flags);
if ((tty->count) == 1) && (state->count != 1)) {
/*
* Uh, oh. tty->count is 1, which means that the tty
* structure will be freed. state->count should always
[Patched]
down(&state->count_sem);
spin_lock_irqsave(&info->lock, flags);
---> if ((atomic_read(&tty->count) == 1) && (state->count != 1)) {
/*
* Uh, oh. tty->count is 1, which means that the tty
* structure will be freed. state->count should always

But now with that patch, I get this during compile..

* cimpiling (gcc) serial_hsf.c
in file included from serial_hsf.c:897
serial_core.c : In function `uart close`:
serial_core.c :1073 request for member 'counter' in something not a
structure or a union

make : ***[serial_hsf.o] Error 1

Anyone know what's the issue here.. or have the fix for it?? Serial_core.c
is actually "Free Software" as stated in the source code.

Help... Need this for my modem.. (& I need the modem cause I don't have
broadband)

Thanks

Hi BOOW,

I have the beta drvers 5.03 and I patched the serial_core.c file.
It works and now my modem is working at 56kpbs in FC1.


But the connection is dropped after a few minutes.The time in which it's disconnected varies from time to time.

Is it the problem in the patch

can't really help you with that the beta driver works ok on my pc. you could invest 14 bucks on the regular linuxant driver or find a cheap serial external modem. software modems are cheap but they suck in linux.
