installing modem suse 8.0 amd athlon

Hi,

Just installed SUSE 8.0 and trying to get my conexant
HSF modem to work. The Conexant website has a link
to www.mbsi.ca with loads of linux drivers. Unfortunately
there is no driver available for AMD Athlon chips (unless
you're running REDHAT). Does anybody know where I can
get a .rpm package which does work for Athlon configurations?
If I try to install the x86 rpm, it just tells me that it wont
install (understandably).

Thanks a lot!!

you don't need an athlon specific driver for suse, just the proper version for the kernel (2.4.18-4GB). "it just tells me it won't install" is not much help, what is the EXACT error message?

Thanks! I already solved the reply. The x86 file
indeed worked. I did something wrong and didnt look
any further since I assumed it was because I have
an Athlon processor. Still... why does the RedHat
come with a separate driver for athlon processors?

Thanks,

Willem.
