The driver installs flawlessly however configuration fails with the following error: ERROR: Module re-compilation and installation failed! Please examine the log file "/tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt" to determine why. Upon examining /tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt the build fails with: * compiling (gcc) serial_hsf.c In file included from serial_hsf.c:897: serial_core.c: In function `uart_close': serial_core.c:1073: invalid operands to binary == make: *** [serial_hsf.o] Error 1 Software versions are as follows: Gentoo Linux 1.4 Kernel 2.4.22-rc2-ac3 hsflinmodem-5.03.27.03042700 Build environment as follows: Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22-rc2-ac3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime slang spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb readline bonobo svga java guile sdl tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk motif opengl cdr acpi acpi4linux alsa dga X dvd gtk2 imap joystick music offensive openal pcmcia pnp radeon sse trusted wxwindows xosd pda -3dnow -apm -arts -gpm -kde -qt" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium4 -pipe -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -msse2" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium4 -pipe -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -msse2" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache" Searching Google provided a similar report pertaining to kernel 2.5.7 on Redhat linux: http://www.linuxant.com/pipermail/hsflinux/2002q2/000068.html Pertinent logs are available at these URLs: http://pizon.org/emerge_hsflinmodem.txt - hsflinmodem driver installation log http://pizon.org/hsfconfig.txt - output from hsfconfig http://pizon.org/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt - full text of hsfconfig-buildlog.txt http://pizon.org/config - my kernel config As a side note I wasn't sure which component to select regarding a bug report for a hardware driver. Please advise which component heading is appropriate for future reference.
Searching Google turned up the following URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linux-latitude-d800/message/97 At the end of this posting is a patch which corrects the problem.
I cannot reproduce your problem, although i'm using the latest 2.4.23-rc-kernel. So it seems the changes that were made in the (deprecated) ac-series have not been portet to the main kernel. Do you still use the same kernel? If not, can you try if it works with an updated kernel.
Yes, I am still using the kernel. I applied the patch I found through Google only to be greeted with the following error: Nov 28 21:13:42 anubis kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.6 to 64 Nov 28 21:13:42 anubis kernel: HSF: ERROR: SILICON Laboratories or LUCENT AC97 modem detected! Nov 28 21:13:42 anubis kernel: HSF: ERROR: This driver only supports CONEXANT devices Nov 28 21:13:42 anubis kernel: HSF: ERROR: No CONEXANT modem found Nov 28 21:13:42 anubis kernel: cnxthsf_cnxt_serial_add: ComCtrlOpen failed (1) Evidently my modem isn't an "according to Hoyle" Conexant chipset-based modem. Funny considering the PCI ID of my modem is in the list of "compatible" chipsets mentioned at linuxant.com. Fortunately for me this is not a mission critical piece of hardware. I have also tried the net-dialup/slmodem driver which loads with the following error: Nov 28 21:18:00 anubis kernel: This driver is not compatible with the installed modem codec. Nov 28 21:18:00 anubis kernel: Please contact your modem provider for support. I did some searching and found another site that mentions using this driver with this same laptop model successfully and this error was appearing in this individual's kernel log. I believe their distro of choice was some revision of RedHat however. At this point I have all but given up on this device for now. I appreciate your assistance with this and if I stumble across any useful information I will be sure to pass it along.
So it seems your device is just unsupported by the conexant-driver.
This appears to be the case, yes. Actually it appears this device is unsupported under Linux, period, which has made this entire bug report an exercise in futility :(
