[hsflinux] Can not install Conexant HSF driver in Red Hat Linux2.4.20-6 on a HP laptop, Pavilion ZE4125

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

if you have a kernel for which we don't provide a pre-compiled driver, it is
best to use the generic driver RPM package if your system supports RPM's.
You should download the generic RPM binary package, not the source RPM.

When you run "hsfconfig", it will attempt to compile the driver modules
using your kernel sources. You have to make sure that the kernel source tree
used by "hsfconfig" to compile the modules is the same that was used to
compile the kernel you are running.

If you use a RedHat kernel, just install the corresponding kernel-source RPM
package and then run "hsfconfig".

Please send us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag" if you still
have problems.

Hi ,



I am not sure how this works, but I Can not install Conexant HSF driver in
Red Hat Linux 2.4.20-6 on a HP laptop, Pavilion ZE4125.  I have tried
installing the generic version without success.  When I use rpm -e a notice
is displayed some thing like no file exists and if I execute rpm -i a
message is displayed can not install software.  The modem is not recognized
by the internet wizard, and the software detection software does create a
directory /tmp/modem which is not populated by any files with information
contained.  Can anyone give me some clues on how to proceed?  I have tried
to compile a new rpm for my software revision because the exact rpm file in
not available.  Thank you in advance for the assistance.
