chipset, Vendor ID: 14F1, Device ID: 2015, Subvendor
ID: 14F1, Subdevice ID: 2015 Rivision ID: 01).

For the Conexant HSF, try here (installation instructions are on the website):
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/

As for your wireless, what is the output of running lsusb at the command prompt?

Thanks for your reply
the free driver from Linuxant gives a very slow connection at 14 kbps. The full driver costs $26, can you guide me to a free driver that gives full function.

Re: Ubuntu Modem & WiFi problem

dude, buy a serial modem and connect it up with a serial connection (be verrry careful you DO NOT buy a winmodem/softmodem) - it works very well with linux this way

but then again , thats probably more than the $26 for the driver
