[hsflinux] hsflinux for ThinkPad G41

Tue May 24 00:37:05 EDT 2005

I have a ThinkPad G41 on which I have run scanModem.  The results are
attached.

Will I be able to use the Linuxant HSF modem on this system?  If you do
not have sufficient data to determine this, what else do I need to get?

Thanks.
Peter

 The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
   8086:24c6 82801DB ICH4 
 capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from manufacturers:

	Broadcom
	AgereSystems
	Conexant
	Intel
	Smartlink

	Smartlink software in ALSA mode may support this modem 
 The Subsystem PCI id does not itself identify the modem Codec.

  Driver snd-intel8x0m  may enable codec acquisition 
  === Begin mc97 codec query  ===
 1014:0559 has a Conexant id 23
  === End mc97 codec query  ===

 Beginning check for older ac97_codec modems.
 An older ac97_modem codec was not detected.

 Checking through information gathered from LinModem ARCHIVES
 From prior reports, the modem codec type of the Subsystem is: CXT
 The modem has a Conexant codec: CXT
 and there is support for the modem controller: 8086:24c6 82801DB ICH4 
 Some Linux Distributions include the hsfmodem driver.
 Search your packages information for "hsfmodem" and "Conexant".
 If not found there, download a hsfmodem package from http://www.linuxant.com .

 For 2.4.n kernels, If there is not an exact match your kernel version: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6_pbw
 then kernel-sources must be prepared as described in Modem/DriverCompiling.txt
 before the hsfmodem driver compiling can be successfull. 
 For recent  kernel-source-2.4.6 ,configuration steps are not necessary.

 == Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor=1014 is IBM.

 Some thinkPad laptops have soft modem Subsystems with AgereSystems codec: 1014:0227 and 1014:0524. 
 Software access is through IBM:
       http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52698

 Vendors 127a and 14f1 are Conexant, inheritor of  Rockwell modem  technology. There are also Conexant chipsets
 in some modems from vendors 158b - Allied Data Tech., 1024 - Zenith ,141a - Apache Micro and 148d Digicom Systems.
 With respect to software support there are two main types, hcfpcimodem* and hsfmodem* .
 Download drivers from http://www.Linuxant.com/drivers/

 At   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html#conexant  , there are scripts aiding installation:
      For HSF modems.
      For HCF modems.
 There is additional Conexant information written to Modem/Conexant.txt 

 == Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

 Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, 537 soft modem
 and AC97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem Subsystems.
 These subSystems often have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, rather than the chip provider.
 Download available drivers through:  http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm  with Intel-537 types at:
 http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Filter_Results.asp?selCat=all&strOSs=39&ProductID=1230&page_nbr=2
 Also check at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/  
 for beta releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
 A very detailed installation report cogent to 537 type modems is at:
