How do I install drivers for my HCF Conexant modem in Ubuntu 11.10?

Unfortunately Conexant driver is old with no update for new kernel version (upper 2.6) so I cant install and use my HCF modem.

I tried to compile it but when I want to configure it I have error! How should I compile and configure this driver with a newer kernel?

How to detect the modem and install the driver using the installer

  • Download the installation program (cnxtinstall.run)

  • Open a terminal window. (If you don't know how to do this, press ALT-F2 and in the dialog box that will appear, try entering one of the following commands: xterm or konsole or gnome-terminal)

  • Use the cd command to access the directory where the cnxtinstall.run file was downloaded.

  • Finally, enter the sh cnxtinstall.run command to run the installer.
