Conexant drivers for HCF based modems
Created attachment 2795 [details] hcf modem driver hcf modem driver
This package doesn't seem to work in Gentoo so far. Tried it on 1.2 and 1.4rc1 with no luck. Everything seems to run, but /dev/ttySHCF0 is never made. Some people have reported it being made, then disappering on reboot. I have had that happen also, but lately even that isn't working. I am doing some work on serial programmming in C/C++ but had to install Mandrake8.1 again in order to work with the modem cause gentoo won't work with it. If you are making an ebuild for it, I hope that you are aware of the problems people are having with the device file. The only thing that really shows up is in lsmod the hcfpciserial is always initializing, /dev/ttySHCF0 isn't made, and modules.conf is constantly removing the entries for it after reboot. I don't know how much help I can be troubleshooting this if you need it, but let me know and I will do what I can.
Figured it out. In order to get this to work in Gentoo. Going to write to /etc/modules.d/aliases instead of /etc/modules.conf. Anything in /etc/modules.conf is going to get overwritten. Or I guess put the flag in there so it doesn't. Anyway. I have it working fine now with devfs and without. I tested it before and after and with it in aliases then update-modules command it works perfect.
Created attachment 5513 [details] hcfpcimodem-0.98.02110301.ebuild David and Matt, can you please try the attached ebuild, it should fix it if David is right.
Nobody wants to test the ebuild? I have fixed it due to davids suggestions, but i cannot test, since i don't have such a modem. I can only apply the ebuild if you report me that it works.

Maybe you are putting it in the hsflinmodem for testing purposes?? MY_PV=0.98mbsibeta02110301 ..... SRC_URI="http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/hsf/archive/${MY_P}/${MY_P}.tar.gz" -->> The MY_PV is correct, but the SRC_URI should be "http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/hcf/archive/${MY_P}/${MY_P}.tar.gz" Otherwise it won't get anything cause MP_PV isn't in the /hsf/archive. I tried making the corrections, but do to my inexperience with this I couldn't. Not sure if I have to do the digest or something, other than just putting the ebuild in the /usr/portage/net-dialup/hsflinmodem folder and emerging the ebuild. I got a bunch of errors, but will try again.
done.
