hsfmodem_7.80.02.05full_k2.6.28_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

[itsmeagain]

hello,

I am running Ubuntu  and would like to keep it updated, kernel-wise. Presently, it tells me to update to the 28_16 kernel ; it is currently running 28_11, which is what I installed directly from the 9.04 distribution media, two days ago.

But, the linuxant.com site does not have a file named hsfmodem_7.80.02.05full_k2.6.28_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip ;
it only has the 28_15 and lower numbered versions.

I can't find anything on the site that tells me whether it will ever have a 28_16; or if so, when.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Steve

Jonathan,
   Please check my guidance below concerning dkms.

Steve,

Linuxant is good about updating its packages, so likely there will be
a 28_16 soon.

But there is an alternative route.  First install the dkms  package
supporting auto updates:
$ sudo apt-get install dkms
and the linux-headers for 28_16 and  libc6-dev packages needed for
compiling support
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-16-generic

Reboot into 2.6.28-16-generic and rerun the hsfmodem install.  Drivers
for the 2.6.28-16-generic kernel will be compiled and installed, also
the dkms will be informed of the presence of the hsfmodem package.
Thereafter, whenever you upgrade to a new kernel, the new hsfmodem
drivers will also be compiled and installed, provided you have
previously installed the linux-headers-MatchingNewKernel.

Hi,

new packages for the 2.6.28-16-* kernels of Ubuntu 9.04 and well as
Ubuntu 9.10 pre-compiled packages will be available soon. In the
meantime, the generic packages in the DEB format will work with these
setups.

I can't comment on "dkms" since I never used it myself, however, if you
have a generic package of one of our drivers installed and you boot a
new kernel, the driver should continue to work since the kernel modules
will be built automatically at boot.

Regards,
