That was you were able to successfully install sl-modem-source in that
past. But it seems that there was some update (probably DKMS related)
that made sl-modem-source installation fail. So since sl-modem-source
installation fails, and that every upgrade you do doesn't complete
because sl-modem-source installation process was never completed, the
solution of dkms.conf replacement is the only workaround that I know to
fix your issue.

If you mean that I only quote relevant parts of the post I am replying,
that is a common practice, some even don't bother to quote at all the
post they reply, especially if they reply from the web interface of
Launchpad.

In a previous post you noted that you haven't found a single karmic user
with a working sl-modem, could you please clarify if you meant those who
use the slamr driver, or is it even those who use ALSA driver who are
complaining ?
