Hello,
I just started trying to install the Linux drivers for the Conexant
modem/soundcard. I have a HP Pavilion (Pentium III , 686) running
a newly installed RedHat 9 distribution (2.4.20-8). The device
reported a vendor ID of 127A and a device ID of 4311 as
expected. The downloads were:
hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt03091800_k2.4.20_8-1rh.686.rpm
riptide-0.6lnxbeta03091200_k2.4.20_8-1rh.686.rpm
I'm somewhat new to Linux. I hope that's enough info to describe
my setup.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both installations (HSFmodem driver first , then the Riptide driver)
went relatively smoothly. Both produced the following:
Pre-built ---- modules that seem compatible with your system
were found under:
/usr/lib/---/modules/binaries/i686/rh/linux-2.4.20-8
I ignored these messages and installed the new drivers:
The HSFmodem driver installation gave the following on the
first attempt:
error: HSF driver not active
error: %post (HSFmodem {version})
scriplet failed exit status 1.
The second attempt (i.e, after reboot) did not give that error.
-------------------------------------------------------
No matter what I tried, however, the RedHat 9 network configuration
wizard could not find the modem. This led me to the HSFmodem FAQ,
questions 3 and 4. ttySHSF0 did show up on a file search (it was listed
under /dev, as it should). I've included /etc/modules.conf, the modprobe
output and the dmesg output below. Note that modprobe has some errors.

ttySHSF0 at MMIO 0x0 (irq = 9) is a Conexant HSF softmodem
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone wants /var/log/messages I'll send that separately. The
last line of dmesq would lead me to believe the modem is recognized!?
>From FAQ question 3 I did delete and recreate the symbolic link.
Can anyone help me get at least the modem driver working ?
Thanks,
Bob Olbrich
