[hsflinux] Cannot get hsf driver to work, close, but no go!

[Dave]

Gentoo 2-6.10-r6 kernel AMD64

The driver compiles fine, but wont load correctly  and hsfconfig keeps 
telling me its not detected.  the auto-installer detects it as an HSF 
conexant modem PCI ID:  14F1:2013  ,.  Here is my dmesg, etc

ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 209
cnxthsf_cnxt_serial_add: ComCtrlOpen failed (1)
hsfpcibasic2: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -5
