[hcflinux] [hcflinux-announce] New hcflinmodem-0.93mbsibeta02052600 release

Sun May 26 23:21:48 EDT 2002

Hi,

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

        http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv

Packages have been reorganized in this release, resulting in smaller
and more standard distribution-specific RPMs.

I would very much welcome (positive and negative) feedback from users
about this new structure.

The detailed list of changes is available below.

Regards
Marc

Sun May 26 2002 Marc Boucher <marc+hcf at mbsi.ca>
	* Released hcflinmodem-0.93mbsibeta02052600.

Sun May 26 2002 Marc Boucher <marc+hcf at mbsi.ca>
	* Restructured distribution-specific packaging to include
	only needed kernel module binaries without unnecessary source.
	This reduces package sizes and download times. Only the generic
	packages now contain source code providing hcfconfig the ability
	to re-link the kernel modules on-the-fly.
	hcfconfig --auto is once again executed automatically during
	installation of distribution-specific RPMs.
	* Updated README, INSTALL and BUGS documentation files.
	* modules/osspec/: minor cleanups
