That looks like a good lead. That site has a list of USB device IDs that are known to use the Conexant chipset: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/index.php This users is running Ububntu 12.04, and possibly has already tried installing the same driver from a disk supplied with the model. (They said the modem came with a driver means for Ubuntu 9.x, and that's what this site has.) According to: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/downloads.php http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php they only have packages built for Ubuntu 9.x and earlier versions (2.6.31 and earlier kernel), and they advise that the build needs to exactly match the kernel version. I checked the Ubuntu repositories, but I didn't turn up anything for "conexant" or "dgcmodem" (the name of the package for the driver). I also checked launchpad.net for PPAs, and didn't find one, but there was someone else asking a question about installing one of these drivers on 12.04, and it not working: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/243087 No solution offered. The alternate is to download the source package: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/archive/dgcmodem-1.13/dgcmodem_1.13_i386.deb.zip and rebuild it: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/20 Then install it with "sudo dpkg -i file..." -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
