Re: CentOS 5.0 installation problem

Hi,

version 7.18.00.02 of the driver is too old to support the recent 2.6.18 
kernel of CentOS 5.

Please try with the latest version of the driver available at:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php

or contact your modem vendor for an updated version of the driver that 
will support newer kernels.

Regards,
