Various problems with the new driver for AMD64 on SuSE 9.0 and 9.1

Hello

On my laptop (Asus L5DF with Athlon64 and chipset nForce 3 150), I am 
trying to install this new
driver. My two systems : SuSE 9.0 AMD64 (kernel 2.4.21-260) and SuSE 9.1 
AMD64 (kernel
2.6.8-24.5 coming from SuSE 9.2). Hereafter the various problem per system :

1- SuSE 9.0 :
============

The detailed informations during installation :

How to solve this problem. No idea :-) ?

In fine, the device ttySHSF0 did not exist, the first one was ttySHSF2 
(ttyS0 is for the serial port, ttyS1 is for irda
port). I deleted the original link modem and did an other symbolic link 
with ttySHSF2 ..... but no answer with wvdial
or kppp. Hummm .... So, why not to perform a reboot .... and I got this 
(according to dmesg) :

===

And the device ttySHFS2 disappeared after reboot !!! So, I used 
"hsfconfig" and rebuilt all  the devices. The link modem -> ttySHSF0 is
right and wvdial or kppp give an answer when /dev/modem is i 
interrogated. With Yast, I can configure a PPP connection for kinternet.
And it works fine : I can surf on the web after PPP connection. I can 
use NOW  the internal modem !!  ...... But after a  second reboot,  I can
see the same error messages during boot and some ttySHSF devices 
disappeared. I have to use hsfconfig and regenerate these devices
or stop then restart the process (/etc/rc.d/hsf stop, /etc/rc.d/hsf 
start) => how to explain such a behaviour ? Is it a bug or something else ?

Thanks for your help

Regards
