Description:   Opened: 2005-08-16 21:04 0000 
It is neccesary to compile and autoload an additional module called
"ungrab-winmodem" to use Smart Link modems with kernels >=2.6.9. This is
explained in the cited URL.
Without this module the script that initializes the modem fails and prints the
message
Module - slamr failed to initialise device /dev/slamr0

The module can be download at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

------- Comment #1 From Stefan Schweizer 2005-08-17 06:05:01 0000 ------- 
Can you please see if the integration in the new ebuild is ok?

http://dev.gentoo.org/~genstef/files/overlay/slmodem-2.9.9e_pre2.ebuild

Please try out if it works for you as expected.

------- Comment #2 From Carlos Cordoba 2005-08-17 20:36:01 0000 ------- 
The ebuild works perfect for me :-)
I just want to suggest a little change to the einfo refering to this problem for
something like this:

"If your kernel version is equal or greater than 2.6.9, please load
ungrab-winmodem before slamr"

This because the message "slamr: device 10b9:5457 is grabbed by driver serial"
is only seen by the user if he runs dmesg | grep slamr

------- Comment #3 From Stefan Schweizer 2005-09-17 04:56:09 0000 ------- 
I added dmesg to the postinst message .. yours is not so good, because
ungrab-winmodem is not always needed
