[hsflinux] Modem on Acer Aspire 3023WLMi

[Michael Doube]

Hi

The patch works - the modem initialises and I can hear it dialling then 
negotiating with my ISP.  I can ping the ISP, though the returns are 
very slow (as much as 12 seconds), then after a few minutes the 
connection is dropped.  I will look into this problem and report back.

Regards

Mike
