Add support for sl-modem-daemon

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

Ian and I just discussed how to add support for Win-modems to r-m.

Module details:
check hw: modalias of snd_intel8x0m matches || /proc/asound/cards contains 'Modem'
enable: install sl-modem-daemon
disable: uninstall sl-modem-daemon

module is blacklisted and can stay that way, because the init script modprobes it

Test packages:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/restricted-manager-core_0.31_all.deb
http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/restricted-manager_0.31_all.deb

Ian tested this.

The test for "Modem" is moot, since it does not actually appear until the module is loaded.

The handler is not shown, this needs some debugging.

Packages on people.u.c. updated, please test.

restricted-manager (0.31) gutsy; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * RestrictedManager/{RestrictedManagerGtk.py,manager.glade}: Show the
    rationale for a driver as a tooltip. (LP: #134019)
  * RestrictedManager/core.py: Add DefaultHandler.is_hw_available(): This can
    be implemented if a handler has an additional way of detecting the
    presence of hardware and modalias matching is not sufficient. Add proper
    support for it to connected_hardware().
  * Add RestrictedManager/handlers/sl_modem.py: Handler for software modems
    supported by sl-modem-daemon. (LP: #125015)
  * Replaced icons by the excellently looking ones from Lapo Calamandrei.
    These are now GPLed and available as SVG (whereas the previous ones were
    CC-BY-SA, stolen from another project, and only available as bitmap).
    (LP: #140557)

  [ Matteo Zandi ]
  * RestrictedManager/RestrictedManagerGtk.py: Fix function name for firmware
    check. (LP: #130789)
  * RestrictedManager/RestrictedManagerGtk.py: Make "Browse" button of
    firmware dialog work instead of causing the app to hang. (LP: #135000)
