I don't know what mistake I made... after installing the HSF package, the sound driver unexpectedly terminated and after then there was no sound from the system. I tried to install the ALSA driver again and here is the output: root@magma:~/modem# dpkg -i alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.20.0_k2.6.28_11_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb (Reading database ... 121262 files and directories currently installed.)
