Greetings All,

I am a complete newbie to Linux having just had Mandrake 8 
installed, and still learning the most fundamental details.

When installing the program the person helping could not find a 
Linux driver compatible with my Conexant HCF PCI modem. Is 
there one which I can down load and install that any one knows of 
please?

Simple response would be appreciated where technical procedures 
are needed would help me at this stage.

Thanks in anticipation.

Just a side note on the HST/HCF modems:

Sometimes the compiling of modem drivers will require that you have the
kernel source installed. Should you be the type of person that likes to
constantly muck around with compiling programs and drivers, you might
want to make sure that you DO have the kernel source and kernel headers
installed - besides, if you get daring and want to recompile your
kernel, you'll already have the source code on-hand.

Cheers!

Good point Stephen. I use the HCF driver, and I find I get the best performance when I 
compile the driver from source. It just works better when it's compiled on your own 
machine. IMHO that is.

All the best.

Try the links off these pages:-

 http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/

http://linmodems.org/

These should help you set up your modem it.  I have the same one at it 
works.   Just make sure you read the instructions and all should work fine.

Greetings to you Dell,

I am a newbie using the driver from http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ 
and have had pretty good results with it too, on Mandrake 8.2 and now with 9.0. 


Just wanted to mention, there is a great hcflinux mailing list for the mbsi drivers to which you can subscribe. Lots of info. I have found it very helpful. You can check out the mailing lists here: http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/contact.html


All the best to you. Welcome to Linux, and the list!
(BTW, this list is great when you need help. Lots of helpful patient folks who will share their expertise).
