I presume that this is a Conexant HSF modem. If so, I had the same problem. I'm using Kubuntu so I don't know if it's quite the same in Ubuntu. I just reinstalled. I uninstalled hsfmodem using the Adept package manager. I then ran the cnxtinstall.run script again. It asked a few questions, rebuilt the driver, and I was up and running again. From memory, it gives you two choices of how to install it. I suspect the source based one goes better than the binary one as far as future kernel upgrades (but I don't really know). Good luck, Graham

In my reply above, I said that the "source based" works better (maybe). Having looked at a log of the installation, what I meant was, where it says:

The following packages are compatible with your system:
1) Generic package : hsfmodem_7.60.00.09full_i386.deb.zip ** Recommended **
2) Pre-compiled package : hsfmodem_7.60.00.09full_k2.6.20_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

I suspect that choosing option 1 is better. But then again, I'm only guessing.

I uninstalled hsfmodem and went to install it. It can't find the package to install it again. If I reboot I won't be able to use the modem. :-( What can I do?

I got a driver from linuxant. From what I read (and am now experiencing), it only supports 14.4. Can I get the driver that shipped with my laptop from Dell? I know Dell has to deal with manufacturers who won't give drivers, but I'm starting to feel ripped off from this modem.

I ran the cnxtinstall.run script again.
