Bonjour,

I installed slmodem package in order to try to have my laptop modem
working.


While slmodem is launched, it suggest that I have to install
kmod-slmodem but this seems imossible with last f8 kernel: missing
dependency: kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 is required but not found....

Is slmodem deprecated now? If yes whet is the new package?

You have to install the kmod-slmodem that matches the installed
kernel. You should have a matching module for each kernel you have
installed. You end up having to install a new kmod-slmodem each time
you install a new kernel.

Look for slmodem-alsa. It works through the ALSA drivers, completely in
user space, so there is no need for a kernel module.

I haven't used it in a few months, but it used to work just fine for me.

Francios,

slmodemd with alsa should be kernel independent. Unless it is the other slmodemd, the one that supports smartlink modems. If it is the first one,

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz

should serve the modem in your laptop. If it is the latter, then they are kernel dependent and there have been troubles compiling in 2.6.25.X kernels. There is new code that compiles under 2.6.25.X at

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20080625.tar.gz

The code compiles a slamr.ko module, but does not copile a slusb.ko due to problems with usb??? If you compiled previous slmodem-20080417.tar.gz code, you would see something like

FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'usb_unlink_urb

There shall be a new version coming out soon for the newer kernels if they have access to this new code :). If you need if faster you can try and compile it and report back/sucess failure. If you decide to compile the code, I'll relay your report to discuss@linmodems.org.

HTH,

Antonio
