All the people ready to help me out with please get in touch. And also I shall need the source code for the HSF driver from the same company. And I shall also need a person who shall give me some tips on how to start off cause this is going to be my first ever device driver. All people who want to help can please catch me at rakshit@zxmail.com. A little about me, Well I am a computer science student in The Daly College, Indore, India. I live in Bhopal. India. I am sure that I shall get a lot of help and all those people out there with a HCF modem waiting to make it run under linux, I hope that your wait shall not be long!
