Bug Description
Binary package hint: sl-modem-daemon
Because the sl-modem-daemon is on multiverse (Dapper and all other releases), the user (who is already frustrated and overwhelmed by winmodem issues) needs to have magical network connection and needs to figure out that s/he should enable multiverse in order to install this.
Is it possible to move the daemon to either the install cd (ideal) or the main repo? install cd would be ideal, bc a winmodem user will most probably have no network connection and hence need a networked computer available (most probably, s/he will need to dual boot with Windows or have access to a Windows PC) in order to access packages.ubuntu.com
If this is bc of legal reasons, I apologize in advance.
