[hsflinux] dial-up interrupting after installation of "hsfmodem_7.60.00.09full_i386.deb" for Conexant HD Audio modem

Fri Aug 3 23:41:27 EDT 2007

Hi,

I installed on my Dell Inspiron 6400 -->Ubuntu Feisty (Kernel version: 
2.6.20-16-generic) the above hsfmodem-driver. Installation terminates 
with: "package installation was sucessful". However, there is a warning 
that the snd_hda_intel module as well as the snd-Hda-codec module are 
already in use.

When trying to dial-up the modem interrupts (please see below under 
/var/log/syslog, you will also find the ModemData.txt as well as the 
installation-log).

I already tried the generic package hsfmodem_7.60.00.09full_i386.deb, as 
well as the pre-compiled one: 
hsfmodem_7.60.00.09full_k2.6.20_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb plus the 
tar.gz source-file, all of them confirm successful installation but upon 
dial-up, the modem is interrupting.

Does any of you possibly know what it could be about?

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Daniel

Please let me know, should you need my "hsfdiag.txt" as it is quite big.

  Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
  intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
  with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
