-Last free Linuxant hsflinmodem drivers
-
-Linuxant is a company that provides software drivers for conexant
-modems and chipsets to run on linux machines. These types of
-modems are commonly known as 'winmodems' as their software is
-designed for use on Microsoft Windows. Linuxant at one time
-provided the software for free but recently they have been
-charging money for the drivers. They still provide a 'free' set
-of drivers that limit the modem speed to 14.4Kbps.
-
-The last "free" (as in beer) drivers come with a license that prohibits
-distribution of versions marked "beta" or "lnxtbeta". Therefore it may be
-difficult to find the source files. You may want to keep the source package
-around in case the files become unavailable.
-
-These drivers will most likely not work with a 2.6.x kernel.
-
-Run "hsfconfig" after installing this package to setup the modem.
-This will build some kernel modules and change a few other files.
-
-Unfortunately, this script does not do a great job of cleaning up after itself.
-To completely remove the drivers, you must do the following:
- 1. Run "hsfconfig --remove" to have the script remove the kernel modules.
- 2. Remove the package.
- 3. Remove the /etc/hsf directory.
- 4. Replace /dev/modem with /dev/modem.old
