[hsflinux] *Repost: Various queries regarding hsf drivers

[Jayant Roplekar]

Hello all,

I had sent a short email few min ago with summary of my problems and 
questions, I saw that the email formatting got very badly screwed up on the 
archive hence this repost. Apologies for the repost. Hopefully it is 
readable now.

1. With my custom compiled linux kernel 2.4.20-rc1 and latest hsf drivers I 
get connections using kppp which die by atmost t=7 or 8 min,
with pppd dying on exit 16 (modem hangup). The shuttle ak31a motherboard has 
a ac97 soundcard but I have not compiled drivers associated with the card. I 
have also tried with the onboard card disabled from bios, that did not 
correct the problem. Some of more details are in my earlier post. Is there 
any suggestion which is found to help at this point to resolve this problem? 
Is there any information we should try to collect to narrow down the reasons 
for this problem?

2.  Is it necessary to have acpi compiled in the kernel to get sustained 
connections? I don't have acpi compiled in my kernel. I really do not see 
the connection, may be somebody could explain.

Thanks,

J.
