[hsflinux] hsflinux compile errors with 2.6.17.6?!

[Hans Meine]

Hi!

I just upgraded my kernel, and independently finally realized that slmodem is 
not the right driver for my modem (it would happily load & run, maintaining a 
device, answer AT commands, but eventually say "NO DIALTONE" when trying an 
ATDT).

Now I wanted to try hsflinux, I even considered buying the full version for 
sending faxes (although I do that only ocasionally, so I don't know if it's 
worth it) and show my appreciation for the driver development, but I cannot 
get the kernel module to compile. :-(

Is this a known problem with the latest kernel or some Gentoo-specific problem 
(I don't think it's the latter, because Gentoo usually contains very few 
patches but installs mostly-vanilla software)?  I see 
that "uname --hardware-platform" returns "unknown" here, which makes the 
Makefile complain ("uname --machine" gives "i686"), but I don't think that 
this is related to the syntax error happening with MODULE_PARM:

  CC [M]  /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.o
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:32: error: syntax error before string 
constant
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:32: warning: type defaults to `int' in 
declaration of `MODUL
E_PARM'
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:32: warning: function declaration isn't a

/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.c:32: warning: data definition has no type or

make[2]: *** [/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osnvm.o] Error 1

I attach both the buildlog and the (gzipped) hsfdiag files.  You can also find 
some minimal information about my scanModem output here:
