OK, I finally got a chance to try 10.04 and I confirm the lockup still
exists. However, the error you report is easily resolved, you missed
one rather poorly documented step.
Use The Synaptic Package Manager to verify you do not have the default
hsolink package loaded.
Also remember
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)
On the Pharscape site download the hsolinkcontrol source tarball.
DO NOT use the *.deb or *.rpm package, get and use the *.tgz file
extract the source tarball using tar xzf
then cd into the hsolinkcontrol source directory
./configure
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install
And finally here is the step you missed.
sudo chmod +s `which hsolinkcontrol`
This chmod step sets the suid/sgid bits needed to actually allow
hsolinkcontrol to work, and get rid of the "not installed properly -- no
internet control"
message.
