[hsflinux] unable to complie the alsa-linuxtant driver

[Randy]

Hello, 

I have been trying to install the hsf driver on my HP dv9317cl laptop.  I am 
running Debian Squeeze (testing) amd64.  The install of the alsa audio driver 
fails with

# dpkg -i alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package alsa-driver-linuxant.

I have sucessfully built kernel modules for VirtualBox and Nvidia with this 
system setup just the way it is.  The kernel source, and headers are 
installed.  I have tried putting a copy of autoconf.h in the directory where 
it is looking for it, but no joy.

What am I missing?

Thanks
