That message appears to be generated by a script in the .rpm package which automatically runs when you install the .rpm. So the meaning is known by conexant, or whoever wrote it. I would suggest you google on the error message and/or check the website of whoever provided the .rpm.

Or ... if you're comfortable reading scripts and doing your own troubleshooting, you can use the --scripts option with the rpm command to view the script and try to figure it out yourself.

Good luck.
