Well, what if I want to use my modem ? It was working on Jaunty, so this is a regression...and the above fix is just a workaround...
I know this is a proprietary driver, so we can't blame ubuntu dev...Anyway, analog modems are less and less used so it's not a serious regression...
The SmartLink modem daemon is the application part of thedriver for recent modems produced by Smart Link Ltd.
This package replaces (along with hardware access drivers) the olddriver generation (2.7.x) which consisted of kernel modules only.
It needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. This can be eitherrecent ALSA (shipped with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa supportand intel8x0m module) which is sufficient for basic operation anddata/Internet connection, or the SmartLink kernel driver which isprovided by separate packages which you can build using the source fromthe sl-modem-source package.
