Having either a 2.2.14, 2.2.16 or 2.2.17 kernel. It has been reported that the driver for 2.2.17 kernels also works with 2.2.18 kernels.
To get the modem to work you'll need to get the Vendor ID and Device ID. The easiest way to do this is to use the command "less /proc/pci" and scroll until you find the PCI card which has a vendor ID of either 14F1 (Conexant) or 127A (Rockwell) and note the Device ID.
You'll need to make an %HSFModem% line.
Copy down the following line somewhere,
%HSFModem% = ModemX, PCI\VEN_XXXX&DEV_YYYY&SUBSYS_YYYYXXXX
Replacing the XXXX's with your Vendor ID and the YYYY's with your Device ID, so if your Vendor ID is 127A and Device ID is 2015 your line would be,
%HSFModem% = ModemX, PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2015&SUBSYS_2015127A
Installing a HSF driver on a 2.2.14 kernel
Download the file HSF_V1.01.02_K2.2.14-5.0.tar, it can be obtained from Olitec's site or the mirror.
Copy it to your home directory
In a console window change to your home directory
[user@localhost]$ cd ~
Decompress the file
[user@localhost]$ tar xzvf HSF_V1.01.02_K2.2.14-5.0.tar
Enter into the drivers directory
[user@localhost]$ cd pci_56k_v2
Load up the lin_hsf.inf file in your favorite text editor, under the section [generic] you'll see a few of lines like "%HSFModem% = ModemX, PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_1025&SUBSYS_1025127A" under theses lines add your own %HSFModem% line which you made earlier.
Switch to root
[user@localhost]$ su
Run the ins_all script to install the driver
[user@localhost]$ ./ins_all
You will now be able to access the internet by telling your dial-up software that your modem is located at /dev/modem.
The ins_all will only temporarily load the modem driver and the modem driver will be removed when you reboot. So if you re boot you will need to run the ./ins_all program to reload the driver, if you reboot on a regular basis you may want to set the . /ins_all command to automatically run every time your computer loads up.
Installing a HSF driver on a 2.2.16 kernel
Download the file PCI_56K_V2_K2.2.16.tar.gz, it can be obtained from Olitec's site or the mirror Mirror.
Copy it to your home directory
In a console window change to your home directory
[user@localhost]$ cd ~
Decompress the file
[user@localhost]$ tar xzvf PCI_56K_V2_K2.2.16.tar.gz
Enter into the drivers directory
[user@localhost]$ cd pci_56k_v2_k2.2.16
Load up the lin_hsf.inf file in your favorite text editor, under the section [generic] you'll see a few of lines like "%HSFModem% = ModemX, PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_1025&SUBSYS_1025127A" under theses lines add your own %HSFModem% line which you made earlier.
