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?
