[hsflinux] CentOS 5.0 installation problem

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

version 7.18.00.02 of the driver is too old to support the recent 2.6.18 
kernel of CentOS 5.

Please try with the latest version of the driver available at:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php

or contact your modem vendor for an updated version of the driver that 
will support newer kernels.

Regards,
