Unhappy Modem Connexant Problem


First of all I want to say hi to everybody.

I hope I'll enjoy partecipating to this forum and to be in anyway usefull to somebody even if I don't know too much about Linux Sistems yet.

The problem I came across when I installed Linux MDK 9.1 is that linux didn't detect the modem. I'm not surprised about that because it happened the same wiht mdk 9.0 but with 9.0 I solved the problem downloading a driver from this web site:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/...s-mdk-x86.html

I went to this web site again and I downloaded the file that was supposed to work with my Kernel version. This time perhaps the driver doesn't work. When I try to install the RPM package I get a bad signature messagge and I'm prompted twice being asked if I really want to install the package. Well, I tried and the modem is still dead. Did anybody by any chance meet the same problem or know why that drive does not work when it should.

Thank you.

Perhaps you got a corrupted download. Try re-downloading the rpm you need.

Considering that I have some problem with my internet connection it could be a possibility, even if I doubt. I'll try to redownload the rpm anyway.

Thanks for the How to link, I'll have a look.

If you don't get the RPM working, go for the source (.tar.gz) version, that should work anywhere.

I didn't try the tar.gz yet but I checked the md5sum and that's the file.It's not corrupted.
