[hsflinux] Acer Extensa 5220, OpenSuse 10.3

Wed Apr 16 15:23:45 EDT 2008

Hi all,

I have problems getting the hsf driver running on my Acer Extensa 5220 
with OpenSuse 10.3

After installing (I tried both the binary rpm package as well as the 
source code tar package), hsfconfig says:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.68.00.09full

If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to:
         http://www.linuxant.com/

When reporting a problem for the first time, please send
us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?

Alas, I cannot post the output of hsfconfig --dumpdiag. When I run this 
command, it says 'probing /dev/ttySHSF...' and never returns.

When I reboot, I get a kernel Oops:

Afterwards, neither modem nor sound do work.

I also tried the linuxant alsa package as suggested by hsfconfig, but 
without success. After installing, neither sound nor modem work.

Any ideas?
