Architecture Package Size Installed Size Files

===================
Architecture i386 is too restrictive, and should be amd64 i386
 sl-modem-daemon also supports the Smartlink slusb.ko driver compiled on x86_64 systems.
It suffices that that the 32bit libraries be installed , to support the sl-modem-daemon compiled on a 32 bit system and then functional on amd64 systems. 64 bit driver lsusb.ko is currently successful on 64 bit systema, per below.

It has been decided to build sl-modem-daemon for i386 arch only. amd64 users will need to enable multiarch & install sl-modem-daemon:i386

Please refer to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=709404 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710144

Also, please note that sl-modem-dkms is still available for both i386 & amd64 archs.
