The hsflinmodem and hcfpcimodem packages are installed by drakconnect, but if the matching kernel modules aren't available at rpm installation time, the automatic configuration (hsfconfig/hcfpciconfig --auto) will fail.

It creates the hsf initscript, but doesn't put any crappy /dev/ttyHSF alias in modprobe.conf, so the hfs service won't start.

Unfortunately, we don't decide in drakconnect which of the kernel modules or config tool package should be installed first

These commands should be run by drakconnect again after the kernel modules are installed, to prevent misconfigured modem devices.

Anyway, drakconnect will be redesigned to prevent these kind of issues, and to allow easier implementation of "post install" commands.
