Comment 66 for bug 375148

Hello,
I have a Toshiba 4600 laptop with a builtin Intel 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Modem Controller. On this machine I did a fresh install with the latest Ubuntu 9.04. I ran exactly into the same problems that have already been discribed in this bug report: The kernel module sources that came with the standard repositories compiled without error, the ones from Ahmeds ppa did not. But till this point I could establish an internet connection. After the reboot I followed the hints you gave in your postings, which created an /dev/ttySL0 again but when I tried to dial out I got the NO CARRIER error.
 Then I followed Ahmeds first posting ( the missing configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils in Jauntys slmodemd package) and took the configuration file from Intrepids sl-modem-daemon package (2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5ubuntu4) and just renamed it to /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.conf. Since I copied the old configuration files from the Intrepid package a /dev/slram0 and a /dev/ttySL0 device node are created after every reboot. I don't know if that is exact the reason why it works now after every reboot but I hope this will help someone.
Please fix this in Karmic. Thanks!
Karl
