Toribio, Spain kernel 2.6.32-24-generic

I send the modedata.txt file looking for help. As a new user of Ubuntu
10, I don't understand well what this file means. I suppose I have a
Conexant chipset, then I would have to pay a license for a full modem
use. There is no
hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.32_24_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip in the
linuxant page.

My modem is a Conceptronic 56k usb voice/fax/modem C56U. It seems that
Ubuntu has not any option for 56k dial-up connections in the net
panel. I have downloaded and installed gnome-network-admin as the help
says but no tab for dial-up connections by now.

Thanks for your help.

hsfmodem-7.80.02.06x86_64full.tar.gz
near the bottom of http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
is the support package needed for
"Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. SoftK56 Data Fax Voice CARP"
USBmodemID=0572:1300

Under Ubuntu
$ tar zxf hsf*.tar.gz
and follow the instructions in the new folder.
While the USB modem can be tested with this package,
buying the software key is necessary to activate full speed service.

After the drivers are installed, the modem should be detected by:
$ sudo wvdialconf

I'll have to update scanModem to optimize output for your case.

Dear all,

I've just dowloaded scanModem from your web page, uncompressed and
executed it in my system.
Attached you'll find the ModemData.txt it has just produced.

I'm not "afraid" of the file and its contents. However, I can't
properly interpret it. It says "Potentially useful modem drivers now
loaded are: snd_hda_intel", but it doesn't conclude if the driver is
properly supporting the modem or not, nor have I any clue on how to
actually test it.

Please help!

Antonio,

scanModem reports that your modem is supported by hsfmodem drivers.
The snd_hda_intel driver is for sound and for certain modems supported
by SLMODEMD variants.

Re: Antonio Rodulfo, Spain, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, amd64 distro

Dear Antonio,

Thank you so much for your quick answer.
I have reviewed the options available at Linuxant's and, sadly,
there's no exact package for 2.38.11. In fact, the latest available
package seems to match 2.31.17.
Moreover, it seems to correspond to the x86, i.e., 32 bits kernel.

As far as the web is concerned, I have two options: on the one hand, I
can download the available package and try to install and use it
(maybe I should cross my fingers?); on the other hand, I can download
the generic package and do my best (not that much, for the time being,
given my small experience) to get a proper driver compiled /
installed.
What would you recomend?

In case I decide to use the generic package:
* is it enough for me to have the proper headers installed or do I
need to have the full kernel source?
* given the fact I'm using the 64 bits system, shouldn't I use the
x86_64 generic package?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Antonio Rodulfo, Spain, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, amd64 distro

AR

for x86_64 systems you can use hsfmodem-7.80.02.06x86_64full.tar.gz
found near the bottom of http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Unpack with
$ tar zxf hsf*.tar.ggz
and follow the instructions in the new folder exposed.

You way be informed that it is also necessary to install  from
http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ the
	alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.1_all.deb.zip ,  in which case.
$ unzip driver*.zip
$ dpkg -i driver *. deb
and again start the hsfmodem install.

If the is a mismatch between ALSA versions of the Linuxant and
packages, you may lose audio support.
But let's deal with that later.

Re: Antonio Rodulfo, Spain, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, amd64 distro

AR

Download both packages.
Try the hsfmodem package installation alone first.
It may abort with message that the linuxant-alsa package is needed.

In that case, install the linuxant-alsa package.
Then again try the hsfmodem package.

Re: Antonio Rodulfo, Spain, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, amd64 distro

Dear Marvin,

I have just tried to build the hsfmodem module. The "make install"
procedure ended with errors.
Please find attached the logfile compiled by the procedure.

What can I do next?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Mutex compile error Fwd: Antonio Rodulfo, Spain, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, amd64 distro

RE:
  CC [M]  /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.o
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:408:8: error: 'MUTEX' undeclared

-------
This error in the code should really be fixed at Linuxant.
However we have previously worked the MUTEX error through in another situation.

AR,
   Wait a while.  Either Jonathan will give the fix or I'll dig out my
own notes and work it through again.
