[hsflinux] Problems to install in Debian

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the problem is that the modprobe tool is unable to install the modules 
with the 'modprobe /dev/ttySHSF' command in a root shell. However, the 
proper 'install /dev/ttySHSF ...' lines are present in the 
'/etc/modprobe.conf' and the '/etc/modprobe.d/hsf' files but they are 
not found by the 'modprobe' tool for an unknown reason.

Please try with different versions of the 'module-init-tools' package to 
see if there is a difference.

Regards,
