[hcflinux-announce] New hcfusbmodem-0.98lnxtbeta03041600ppc driver released

[Marc Boucher]

Hi,

A new version of the experimental Conexant HCF (controllerless) driver for
Linux (USB PPC hardware type) is now available from

        http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/

This driver supports the internal modem in recent Apple PowerPC machines,
such as the Titanium PowerBook.

Support for newer kernels and a few bug fixes are the highlights
of this release.

The detailed list of changes is available below.

Please report any new or persisting problems.

Many thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for his assistance with PPC issues !

Regards
Marc
