Re: Soft modem in the ibook 2.2

Hi,

for the USB byte order problem with the HCF USB driver, a new 
experimental patch named 'hcfusb-1.06-USB_byteorder.patch' is now 
available at:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/downloads-patches.php

In order to find the remaining problem with the driver, we will need 
more information. Please send at [email protected] the output of 
'dumpdiag'. Type the following in a root shell:

---
hcfusbconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('hcfdiag.txt').

Regards,
