Add DKMS support to sl-modem

[أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy)]

The attached debdiff adds DKMS support for sl-modem.

This package is not pulling in the right headers from it's depends. You'll need something that pulls in linux-headers-generic | linux-headers I believe.

Have you tested this DKMS build on a standard desktop install? I've only been testing it in a chroot, so I may be a corner case:

  I've built it using pbuilder for Intreipd on my machine. Anyways I
  just uploaded it to my PPA, it compiled for AMD64 architecture, but I
  got a CHROOTWAIT problem for i386 architecture, I don't understand
  what that is.

The important part is the test install rather than just the test build. I
was able to do test builds just fine.

  Yes, it installed well on Intrepid, never tried it on a Jaunty system.
  Btw, I see from the log you pasted, that apt-get pulled
  linux-headers-2.6.27-1-386, yet DKMS tries to build modules for kernel
  2.6.24-20-generic.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

That's because of the chroot I was booted into. Don't worry about IT.

So, that means that the patch is fine or what ?

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

You still need a mrthod to pull in the headers as I was advising.I'm
just saying the install time kernel error that is in my log can be
ignored.

  Ok, I added linux-headers-generic | linux-headers to sl-modem-source
  Recommends: field.

  Although I see that the headers were indeed pulled by apt-get
  according to your log.
