[hcflinux] Problems with RH.8.0 and Compaq Presario

Hi Jean-Simon,

Thanks for your response, sorry I've taken so long to respond. I decieded to 
upgrade to RedHat 9.0 (kernel version: 2.4.20-8) and re-installed the HCF 
drivers and disable the PCMCIA (Yenta) drivers. These changes gave me some 
progress - I can now initialize the modem and dial out and can hear it 
connecting, but it just can't seem to fully negiotate the connection. I've 
also tried the apci/apm kernel flags, but still not much success. I haven't 
tried the kernel recompile yet. As before, the output from hcipciconfig -d 
can be found at http://rl.iwarp.com/hcfdiag-txt.htm .

And here's the entries in /var/log/messages:

Thanks for the help you've provided so far. I'm still very keen to get this 
going, so any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Rob.
