[hcflinux] Including the HCF Modem driver into the kernel

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

I appologize for my misinterpretation of your question. I have been so used
to using kernel modules that I forgot the other option.

Unfortunatly, we do not support statically building the driver with the
kernel. This will probably not change in the future either because there
would be no real advantage to it.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to use a custom kernel with our driver.
This is perfectly supported with the generic driver.

On the download page, instead of choosing a specific distribution and kernel
version, look under "Generic packages with source " and download the binary
RPM.

When you will run "hcfpciconfig", it will compile the modules using your
kernel source tree.

Is there any reason why the HCF modem driver (beta, free or full) cannot be
compiled into the kernel, rather than being built as a module? Has anybody
succeded in doing this? I ask because I would like to do the same when I
remaster my kernel to remove excess baggage and modules and compile in just
what I need for my system.
