hi there!I've got two boxes with the pci conexant winmodem and (as i can't find the appropriate info in the wiki) i thought i'd spend a week on this post to find out howto get this sucker humming...
(i've got gcc+libs, headers, +frozen-bubble from the repository, and now>> please someone who knows how, bare with me on this)
(i also have the conexant driver and lisence.pl)
how do i search the dsl-disk for the kernel number AND make sure that i have the right mydsl headers file?
$ver or something?

Did you try the hsmodem extension in testing - if this works, you might be able to unlock full speed with your licence.

yes, thanx juanito that hsfmodem works fine >i had to use wvdial.dsl to find it though ( /dev/modem ) and then used ppp/dialup to use it. It's only working at 14kbps though?!! and i googled conexant hsf keygen (as i lost my lisence and didn't want to buy another) but i don't know how to use that perl script just yet, someone on irc said that i can use ndiswrapper with the windows driver so i might check that out. but for now i'm kinda stuck on windowswhat has been you're experience with these modems?

There's a way to enter the license number and speed the modem up to 56kbaud - but if you've misplaced the license, that could be difficult...

According to linuxant, you just need to run the command "hsfconfig --license" to unlock your modem to 56k.You could always try asking support@linuxant.com to re-issue your license

yeah Juanito, i noticed that you made the hsfmodem.dslcould you please look at this driver package?
< http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy....c0562ce >
it's free, it's legal, and it's 56kbps.
also the two links here:

I had a look, but the first link download ends up in a "404" error and the second link does not point to modem-hsfpci.tar.bz2?

sorry about that < http://www.int21.de/conexant/ >
this is much more like it, i've checked out
< http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....ng;st=0 >
and i'ma go try that now, i don't know how to make .dsl's though...
...and i only got to =>
make[1]: Entering directory `/ramdisk/home/dsl/hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700/inf2bin'
cc -I../imported/include -I../modules/osspec/include -DFRAME_WORK=FWK_LINUX_SOFTK56 -DFRAME_WORK_IMPORTED -DOVERRIDE_NEW=1 -DPORTABILITY=0 -DMULTYDP -DHSFLINUXVERSION="\"5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700\"" -O2 -Wall -c -o inf2bin.o inf2bin.c
/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [inf2bin.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/ramdisk/home/dsl/hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700/inf2bin'
make: *** [install] Error 2
..so now i am as stuck as ever
[edit] no, i used gcc1! now i've used gcc 2.95 +krnlsrc and the make command is not found... how do you compile with dsl3.2/krnl 2.4.26 juanito? -> what .dsl's should i use?
Posted by NewB4Life on Oct. 15 2007,06:54
Oh well, I give up. I'll just have to request a .dsl now. I tried < http://www.int21.de/conexant/ > and loading gcc1+libs,gcc2.95,krnlsrc,wvdial and then "sudo -s" "rm /lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.*" "cp /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.* /lib/modules/2.4.26" (because running live) and "ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc" (to find cc) then "tar -zxvf hs.." "cd" "make install" + "hsfconfig"But at the end of it, it said that "This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for you system: Distribution: Debian-testing/unstable" and I'm way over my head, but it worked for puppy so it MUST work for DSL!
