[hsflinux] Problem compiling modules for iBook G4

Mon Nov 22 08:21:22 EST 2004

Thanks  Jonathan,

I wasn't able to identify the modem chipset with lsusb, at least I couldn't 
find the ones you listed.  I've tried the hcfusb package anyway and it 
successfully compiled the modules but I got the following error after running 
the hcfusbconfig:

ERROR: hcfusb driver not active

I am using Kernel 2.6.8-powerpc from the Debian testing distribution. I 
noticed from a previous post that this kernel version may not be supported 
yet? Is that right?

Thanks in advance,
Kieran Ryan.
