These are only my notes that I scribbled down while setting up a Dell Latitude D800 Laptop. I hope it will help someone in configuring their system under similar settings. I have only tried to get it to a stage where I can access the gui interface! It should be easy from then on....

Fri, 05/21/2004 - 22:54 — sandip Setting up the Modem for Fedora Core 1 on the Dell Latitude D800

Modem is Conexant D480 MDC V.92 with my "lspci | grep Modem" output as below:

00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01)

You need the HSF (softmodem) Driver from linuxant.com.

Download the version built for your kernel. To see your current kernel version:

#uname -r

Or... if you have a custom kernel, you may need to build from source. See the installation notes.

Upon installation of the driver, I was successfully able to configure my ppp connection through the gui interface. (Main Menu > System Tools > Internet Configuration Wizard)
