[hsflinux] hsflinux compile errors with 2.6.17.6?!

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

by the presence of the following warning messages:

---
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/cnxthwpci_common.c:86: warning: implicit 
declaration of function `pm_register'
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/cnxthwpci_common.c:86: warning: assignment 
makes pointer from integer without a cast
/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/cnxthwpci_common.c:137: warning: implicit 
declaration of function `pm_unregister'
---

you are probably not using the latest version of the HSF modem driver 
that you can download at:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php

The latest version of the driver does support the 2.6.16.x kernel and 
will probably compile without any problems on the kernel you are using.

In the latest version, you will probably get the same warning about the 
architecture and it can be safely ignored. This known problem is likely 
to be solved in the next release of the driver.
