[hcflinux] hcfusb gentoo ppc compile and usb-id

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

thank you for the information your have provided in your post. We are 
currently aware of problems with the HCF USB driver on the 2.6.6 kernel and 
we are currently working on it. We will contact you back when a fix will be 
available.

Meanwhile, you could downgrade your Linux kernel to be able to use the driver.

Regards,
