Comment 107 for bug 394500

Okay.

I installed the LINUXANT packages again and noticed a weird install error:

Building modules for kernel 2.6.31-17-generic, using source directory
/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build. Please wait...
grep: /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-conexant.ko: No such file or directory
done.

Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot

Note: kernel module snd-via82xx-modem overridden by hsfmc97via
Note: kernel module snd-intel8x0m overridden by hsfmc97ich hsfmc97sis
Note: kernel module snd-atiixp-modem overridden by hsfmc97ati

-------------------------------------------------

I then rebooted and then reinstalled the alsa-linuxant and the HSF modem driver; I had to manually download and install the HSF driver from Linuxant and it all works!!!

So, for some reason, the HSF modem driver barfs on the first install and doesn't find the snd-hda-codec-conexant.ko module. My guess is that it gets installed, but no symlinks. The second install (reinstall) finds the module and appropriately symlinks?

In any case, for me, the ubuntu PPA pulse audio updates fixes the modem bug for the HSF modems on an HP6910p running the proprietary LINUXANT modem driver package.

Thanks to WHOOPIES and Daniel Chen for all your help!
