[hsflinux] Ubuntu 7.10, recent kernel upgrade, hsfmodem + Dell Latitude D620 = no sound

Fri Dec 21 22:28:02 EST 2007

I recently upgraded a working Ubuntu 7.10 from linux-2.6.20-16-generic to linux-2.6.22-14-generic.

With linux kernel build 2.6.20-16-generic (Ubuntu 7.10) I had the full hsfmodem modules loaded and running fine. All my hardware worked.

After the upgrade to linux-2.6.22-14-generic, sound stopped working. (No audio devices in /dev) Additionally, hsfconfig reports there are no modems detected. (Even after boot.)

I've kept my old 2.6.10-16-generic, and verified it still works with sound and hsfmodem.

I've also verified that removal of the HSF modem module from the system (and the package and a reboot) allows audio to work again.

I've tried using the deb package build for Ubunutu 7.10:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.68.00.04full/hsfmodem_7.68.00.04full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
"fd74a6161b5b4b00fdc0979f58c5b2f4"
This produced the same lack of audio.

I also tried the the generic tarball (e376d9344f408f0ec68c959ab64ae121) with a "make install" but found the same problem. After a make uninstall, sound worked.

I also tried the cnxinstall.run but found the same problems as witht he above.

None of the above allowed the modem to be detected as it was with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel.

I did track this further, and found the two modules that were being prevented from loading after hsf* modules, which caused sound to not work:
snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_codec

It would be great if I could get a working hsf module that recognized the modem (like it did with the linux-2.6.20-16 kernel) and allowed the sound card to work as well.
