[hsflinux] Problem compiling modules for iBook G4

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the HSF driver is not supported on non-x86 based machines. However, all 
known internal modems based on a Conexant chipset in Mac laptops are 
based on the HCF chipset.

Please run the 'lsusb' command in a root shell and if you have a device 
with one of the following USB ID :

---
USB Vendor ID: 0572 Product ID: 1290 (Cadmus2 HCF, Conexant)
USB Vendor ID: 05AC Product ID: 8202 (Cadmus2 HCF, Apple)
---

then your modem is supported by the HCF USB driver which you can 
download from the HCF driver download page at :

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/downloads-license.php

The HCF USB driver is only supported on PowerPC based machines such as Macs.

Regards,
