I notice that the description of sl-modem-daemon says:

 It needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. This can be either
 recent ALSA (shipped with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa support
 and intel8x0m module) which is sufficient for basic operation and
 data/Internet connection, or the SmartLink kernel driver which is
 provided by separate packages which you can build using the source from
 the sl-modem-source package.

Is there a reason that the in-kernel driver solution isn't sufficient?

Use of alsa is documented in /usr/share/doc/sl-modem-source/README.gz. Can people confirm that the solution described there is sufficient?
