Conexant soft Modem & Mandrake 9.2 please!

bvc · February 1, 2004

k, I'm bored so here goes.... :D

[root@localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-4.2.2-3mdk

urpmi-4.4.2-1mdk

rpm-helper-0.9.1-1mdk

rpmtools-4.5-18mdk

rpmdrake-2.1.2-1mdk

gurpmi-4.4.2-1mdk

[root@localhost root]# urpmi rpm-build

One of the following packages is needed:

1- automake-1.4-23.p6.mdk.noarch

2- automake1.7-1.7.9-1mdk.noarch

3- automake1.6-1.6.3-1mdk.noarch

What is your choice? (1-3) 2

To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (15 MB):

autoconf2.5-2.59-3mdk.noarch

automake1.7-1.7.9-1mdk.noarch

gcc-c++-3.3.2-4mdk.i586

libstdc++5-devel-3.3.2-4mdk.i586

rpm-build-4.2.2-3mdk.i586

spec-helper-0.10-1mdk.noarch

Is this OK? (Y/n) Y

so I got everything installed and moved the src.rpm to the srpms directory (you can do it from anywhere though)

[root@localhost root]# ls /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS
hsflinmodem-5.03.27mbsibeta02122600-1.src.rpm*
[root@localhost root]# cd /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS
[root@localhost SRPMS]# rpmbuild --rebuild hsflinmodem-5.03.27mbsibeta02122600-1.src.rpm

then I got an error and fixed it but you shouldn't have this problem

Is the kernel-source package installed? KERNELSRC does not point to a proper directory (/lib/modules/2.6.2-0.rc2.1mdk/build). Stop.

so now all that's left is

rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/hsflinmodem-5.03.27mbsibeta02122600-1.i586.rpm

if you want the docs

rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/hsflinmodem-doc-5.03.27mbsibeta02122600-1.i586.rpm

then run hsfconfig

Thread about where the drivers are.

Wow, full credit to bvc !!! you are an amazing helper!!

I actually got as far as you've gotten up to just roaming around installing and changing required things and the problem came down to when i ran "hsfconfig"

I configured the settings as such and came to the point where i had to enter the kernel source build directory, yea? well........

i "think" the link i have it was right, /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk/

because the actual build directory was linked dynamically from the /lib directory

to only get an error message installation failed, check the log to determine why

and the log went onto talk about osspec files and the problem if i recollect was associated with [mod_ospec.c] i "think" or something along those lines with a short message before it saying:

-something-something- : Character missing ****

Cheers.

bvc · February 2, 2004

hmmm....can't recall it ever asking for that. Did you try to just hit enter?....or did it ask because it couldn't find it? Try to post the exact errors, and/or try to give it these...

/usr/src/linux

/usr/src/linux/include

/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/build

if the build symlink doesn't exist then create it as I did above. Probably

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk/ /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/build

bvc · February 3, 2004

Did ya get it? I could always build it an email it to ya. What's your arch? i586 ok? Let me know. You can PM me as well.

Wandera · February 4, 2004

Ok heres what happened..... and before i start, Thanks again!!!!

I had a look at the source in oscapat.h because the error log was giving

missing terminating " character:274:5

missing terminating " character:320:1

of that file i checked out the lines and they begun like this

asm(" /* this is line 274 btw. */

and ended like this

") /* and this was line 320 */

so i simply deleted the " characters, and re-ran the hsfconfig, giving a source path of:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk

and it worked!!! apparently :wall:

so it finished by saying:

re-compilation succeeded, HSF Winmodem Installed

Modem is accessible through /dev/ttysHSF0 or something like that.

so i go into HardDrake and have it auto detect modems and i get this:

--- Modem

Modem

PCI Conexant HSFi modem

or something like that i was wondering why there was " Modem " there aswell????

and when i open the network config in the control center the device used is:

Modem

and yet still the same thing happens upon launching the Wizard....

I use expert mode and it cant detect a Winmodem if i choose that type

I use Autodetection and it says the Winmodem isnt supported after detecting it

I use the methods and choose Normal modem, and it still doesnt work??

Im assuming, trying out wvdial wouldnt be a bad option bvc??

Thats all the info i have now Thanks for your time im making amazing progress!!

bvc · February 4, 2004

Great job on making it build, I hope.....if you have probs, you'll know why.

remember?

Regardless, you'll find the modem setup in the mandrake control center will say it's not connecting even with everything configured correctly. Just wait another minute, ignore the messages and see if it connects. Also try kppp. Install the kdenetwork-kppp rpm and run kppp in a terminal if it does not show up in the menu. ......... Oh, if I remember rt the /dev/modem symlink will point to /dev/ttyHSF0. Find out with the command
file /dev/modem

Remember it is not suppose to work with linux, so it's a weird tty not a real hardware tty.

So, you can for get harddrake in fact stay away from it because it is probably why the modem was busy. Harddrake doesn't know what to do with it. Heh, I usually uninstall it but it has improved and is good for some things now, I guess.

Make sure /dev/modem exist! Drakconnect/kppp must have it. Just open kppp and go to setup or whatever, and point it to /dev/modem.

I loved wvdial. There are many post about it on the board some of which are for the conexant and many have config info from me, or in fact my old /etc/wvdial.conf file. You can give it a shot but it could be even more frustrating. Looks like you're not afraid to edit stuff though :headbang: Hint: point wvdial to /dev/ttySHSF0 and not /dev/modem. If /dev/modem exist and is correctly pointing to /dev/ttySHSF0 then you're ok but why mess with a symlink if wvdial can go straight to ttySHSF0? RT?

....and you're welcome!

Wandera · February 16, 2004

Guess where this post is coming from fellows.....

My working connection of a HSF pci Conexant Volcano CARP softmodem

MUHAHAH!!! :P :D :P :D :jester:

I re-installed the drivers, used drakconnect and selected these options:

Expert Mode >

Normal Modem Connection >

/ttyHSF0 COM1>

Configured my ISP connection settings

Then i applied the settings, chose not to connect now... logged out and restarded the X server.... went into drakconnect, clicked "Connect"... and SUDDENLY!!!

I hear my modem start ringing in, it never got that far before.. and here i ma 45mins into my new Linux career.... Thanks Guys!!! THANKS ALOT!!!
