Jeffrey, In the case you provided, you installed/tried to install the alsa-linuxant package? You may not have needed this package. You do have kernel sources and compiler ready. However, the replacements on the hsfmodem would differ with the ones suggested by Jonathan(Linuxant support), DECLARE_MUTEX, with DEFINE_SEMAPHORE after you have detected where it bombs out or wait a bit till they(Linuxant) patch up the code and make it ready to work. If someone has suggestions, please forward them to Jeffrey. Regards, Antonio On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 5:15 PM, <cohanjeffrey@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Great to hear from you Antonio.
