[hsflinux] Gone back to hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02061700-1

[Marc Boucher]

Hi Tony,

The netfilter log messages could be due to a conntrack/nat issue in
netfilter. I don't think that the HSF driver has anything to do with it.
If you re-install the latest HSF driver, does it still happen? Does it 
also occur when uploading with another protocol, such as ssh (scp) ?

Is anybody else experiencing this problem (problems uploading data)?

Marc
(sorry for the delay; I'm presently travelling..)
