Missing /dev/devfs Stops Hcfpcimodem Driver From Installing Correctly
Missing devfs file in /dev prevents hcfpci~1.deb from installing without
error. Using dpkg -i hcfpci~1.deb
to install driver. Reinstalling devfsd didn't help-/dev/devfs is still
missing and dpkg -i hcf*~1.deb still gives
the same error. Appreciate any help resolving this problem. Please
copy my email address-not subscribed.
dpkg -i output follows:(Happy to send any other data requested.
