 sl-modem (2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * The weird version number release... this is 2.9.9d+e-pre2-5 from
     debian/unstable (closes: lp#31640).
   * UVF-exception: closes: lp#46851.
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fix for module compilation with 2.6.16, condition around line
     drivers/st7554.c:1160 (closes: #358267)
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * replaced amrmo_init.c with the version from
     http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz
     which has basically the superset of our changes (plus two additional modem
     IDs) but zeroes out the class* method calls since they are "protected" by
     GPL-enforcing kernel macros now (closes: #354216)
   * the above change effectively disables the udev functionality. Send your
     complaints to kernel developers if you need it. Or suggest a better
     solution. For now, a oneliner in /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils
     creates /dev/slamr0.
   * workaround to fix device files that got the wrong owner (660 instead of
     root) during the major number transition in July 2005
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * changed NAME setting for slusb in udev rules
   * fixed slamr class_device_create call (closes: #349305), thanks to
     Gasper Zejn et al.
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * added helper module from
     http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz
     to tell the kernel to keep away from unsupported PCI id numbers, installed
     with slamr and pre-installed via modprobe.d script
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream pre-release (closes: #327588)
   * added sv.po from Daniel Nylander (closes: #330436)
   * slmodemd.1 manpage from Erik Schanze (closes: #335369)
   * defining URB_ASYNC_UNLINK if not set, needed by recent kernels
   * applied patch for class/simple_class transition from Gentoo lists with
     some fixes (closes: #325799)
   * changed the MODULE_LICENSE string to "Dual BSD/GPL" since the license
     is actually a BSD license clone (closes: #327545)
   * not including the old hotplug script, merged its code into the init script
     and added an udev rules file to run it. Needs real testing with a
     Smartlink USB modem which I do not have (closes: #338740)
   * disabled the "PCI device grabbing warning" code which caused
     OOpses on 2.6.15
 .
 sl-modem (2.9.9d-7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * added alternative debconf-2.0 dependency
   * http://dev.gentoo.org/~genstef/files/slmodem-class-simple-to-class.diff
     added with few modifications though does not solve #325799 yet
   * added patch http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02217.html
     which AFAICS basically ignores the PCI ID collision caused by the kernel
     source bugs #303844 and #322028 (closes: #321061). Should be fixed in the
     kernel, though.
