[hsflinux] Re: Conexant ACLink no ttySHSF0 after reinstall

[Scott Sorby]

That was quite strange the first half of my mail didnt appear on the board only the attached hsfconfig --dumpdiag

Last week I decided to install Mandrake 9.1 on my new HP pavilion ze5354
laptop,
as I had hoped the install went flawlessly with everything being installed
(except the modem)

I had previously downloaded the drivers from linuxant so I just browsed to
them and double clicked them and they installed ok,
I su'd and ran hsfconfig and took all the default options offered.

Into kppp and Im browsing,,,, sweet as honey,,,
as you can Imagine I was well pleased to be online with my new linux laptop.
it didnt last, being a relative noob and spurred on by the modem success, I
went wandering saying what happens if I do this and whats this for.

Anyway I found myself in the KDE kernel configuration module and was looking
around as
I thought this was showing me the config of the kernel,, how interesting
(fool) anyway before I knew what was happening it was compiling (oops)
and it failed.. no surprises there!!
next reboot no linux even in failsafe,,, ok so I wont do that again!! but
thats how I learn..

so I went for the reinstall thinking no problems and I'll find out what I
did and maybe how to fix it when Im online again.
I installed everything as I did before (99% certain) except this time kppp
says unable to open modem, and there is no ttySHSF0 or symlink in the /dev
directory.
Im totally lost as to why it was there and working perfectly before with the
same config but not this time.

I have tried all the inf files I even tried adding "noapic" to the lilo.conf
which gave me the files ttySHSF0 and the symlink, but kppp got the modem
busy message on query.

could anyone shed some light on why this is happening.
I have read through the archive but any relevant posts dont seem to have had
it working from the outset.

any ideas or even comments on how stupid i was are quite welcome.

Attached hsfconfig --dumpdiag.

Thanks
Scott
