[hcflinux] Compilation failure with version 1.10full

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the patch will be applied to the HCF PCI driver and not the kernel, so 
you do not have to re-compile your kernel.

According to the information you have provided for your other modem, I 
can't confirm if it will be supported or not by the HSF modem driver. 
The HSF modem driver only supports modems based on a Conexant HSF 
chipset. If the modem is not based on a Conexant HSF chipset, an error 
message stating so will be left in your 'dmesg' after you have installed 
the right driver package for your system.

Regards,
