   Hi,

   Since hcfpciconfig doesnt't exit successfully, i think the System.map and
modules.dep files are not correctly updated, causing the module loader failure.
   The point is to find out what hcfpconfig looks for, and that it doesn't find
on your LFS system. I had the same problem because my kernel sources where in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20 instead of the usual /usr/src/linux.
   I am also running a LFS system(2.4.4), and my modem works fine. It was just
a little harder than with a standard distro.
