[hsflinux] Problem loading hsflinmodem drivers on RH9

[Jean-Simon Durand]

Hi,

Please try this. Instead of getting the source RPM and then installing from
the .tar.gz in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, get the "generic binary RPM with
source".

In your case, that would be this link:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/archive/hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042
700/hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700-1.i386.rpm

Make sure the driver is completely uninstalled, then run rpm --install on
the file that you just downloaded. After the installation, run "hsfconfig"
and it will compile the driver using your kernel sources.

You have to make sure that the kernel you are running was compiled from the
same source tree that "hsfconfig" will use to compile the modem driver.
hsfconfig usually follows the symbolic link "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build"
and uses that as the kernel source tree's root.

I'm pretty sure that this is a kernel source issue. Try to compile a generic
kernel from ftp.kernel.org if you can't get it to work with the redhat
kernel.

Regards,

Jean-Simon

ok here I try again, having cleaned up my code to make sure nothing was
inapropriately present!
