Recently a new version was released. The older 1.20 does not work with 2.6.35 kernels due to missing autoconf.h The (almost) only things required are renaming an ebuild and a corresponding patch. One minor thing, /etc/modules.d/hcfpci should be moved to /etc/modprobe.d/hcfpci.conf (I did it by hand.) Reproducible: Always
Discovered one more thing, svc_start and svc_stop should be used in restart() in init script.
