It seems as though this should be done (snd-intel8x0m blacklisted) because:
1) The one thing that does use this driver, slmodemd (which is non-free) will
autoload it if necessary
2) HSF modem drivers can't be installed when this is loaded - it has to be
blacklisted and the system rebooted before this will function
properly - which is a bit annoying, and impossible on the live CD (if I had to
install them from a USB key to do something in a pinch, for instance).

What are the thoughts on this?
