[hsflinux] Problems on Sony Vaio PCG-FX601

[Marc Boucher]

Tony,

I've been in Europe for the last few weeks and have had
very limited time and hardware access to diagnose problems.

Should be back in Canada at the end of this week and able to investigate
issues then. Note that relatively few users have been reporting
difficulties with hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02072100.
