[hcflinux] Linux drivers,

Tue May 20 12:28:49 EDT 2003

The problem I found was that, as you can see below, it detects it as a 
Rockwell and uses Rockwell AT commands (which can be seen if you 
increase the debugging/logging level).  These don't match the documented 
AT command set for the Conexant at all.  Since the command set is 
autodetected via a few AT command tests and since the AT command sets 
are in the code, this led me to my aforementioned dilemma.
