1         Driver Installation

  1. Log as root on the target Linux machine

 

  1. Find out the Vendor ID and Device ID of the PCI modem used and remember them

 

  1. Copy the modem driver package file to the directory where you wish to extract it

 

  1. Extract the modem driver files from tar file

tar -xpvzf <tar-file-name>

This creates under the current directory the directory having the same name as the <tar-file-name> file, but without the .tar.gz suffix and extracts all files into it.

Example:

tar -xpvzf HSFLinuxV40600.tar.gz

creates the  HSFLinuxV40600 directory and extract modem driver files into it.

 

  1. Change directory to the newly created directory

Example:

cd  HSFLinuxV40600

 

  1. Read the README file in order to use the right installation script: This release was compiled for kernel 2.4.0 and kernel 2.4.2, in case you run on a machine with one of these kernel versions (uname –r), copy the 3 modules from the sub-directory with your kernel name (i.e. kernel2.4.0) and run ins_all. If you run on a different kernel version, run ins_all_os. The 3 OsSpecific dependent modules will be created on your current directory. Next time you can run ins_all only (The ins_all_os should be ran only once).
