[hsflinux] Re: "hsf driver not active" message

[Mathieu Servain]

Hello,
I've seem to got the same problem : driver not active after a generic RPM 
linuxant driver installation.

Here are the commands I've done and how it did answered  :
{-------------
# rpm -i hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04072900full-1.i386.rpm
attention: hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04072900full-1.i386.rpm: signature V3 DSA: 
NOKEY, key ID 5dfbf7dc
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 6.03.00lnxt04072900full
[...]
No pre-built modules for: Mandrake-10.0 linux-2.6.3-15mdksmp i686

Trying to automatically build the driver modules...
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)

Building modules for kernel 2.6.3-15mdksmp, using source directory
/lib/modules/2.6.3-15mdksmp/build. Please wait...
done.

ERROR: hsf driver not active
erreur: %post(hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04072900full-1) échec du scriplet, code 
de sortie 1
-------------}

So, I'd Tryed the "hsfconfig -k" command :
{-------------
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 6.03.00lnxt04072900full
[...]
Warning: existing driver modules found under:
         /lib/modules/2.6.3-15mdksmp/misc/
Would you like to keep using them? [no]

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/lib/modules/2.6.3-15mdksmp/build]

It seems to be OK, but when I verify if the driver is active or not, it is 
not :
{-------------
# hsfconfig -i
[...]
ERROR: hsf driver not active
-------------}
And the "/dev/ttySHSF[0-9]" stills not exist.


For information, here is an extract from the 'modprobe' :
{-------------
+ modprobe -v /dev/ttySHSF

And here is an extract from the 'dsmeg' :
{--------------
+ dmesg

Thank you for your helps.
