Linux driver

Using the smlink driver

The Linux driver from SmartLink supports both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. However, it does not work with the newer Intel ICH6 controllers (used, e.g., on the ThinkPad R52 and T43; trouble on the G41 has also been reported).

Using the Linuxant hsf driver

The commercial hsf driver from Linuxant supports this modem and works on the ThinkPad R52, R51 and T43. It offers free limited evaluation at 14.4kbps, and the full version costs $15.

Installation in Debian: run # dpkg -i hsfblablabla.deb. When asked you for the code, enter "FREE" for the 14.4kbps evaluation.
