[hcflinux] yet another Mandrake 9 success

[Larson, Nicholas Alton (UMKC-Student)]

I just wanted to add my two cents worth and let people know that I had no problems using the generic i386.rpm driver with Mdk 9, like many others have, so no need to wait for specially compiled rpms if you're in a pinch.  

After installing the rpm, I followed the directions to type 'hcfconfig' as root and it automatically compiled the drivers for the 2.4.19-1 or whatever kernel.  I did have to manually add the /dev/modem link by deleting the current /dev/modem (you may have to delete it twice) and then:  ln -s /dev/ttySHCF0 /dev/modem.  That did the trick for me, and I'm using my hcf modem to send this.
