Bugzilla Bug 59244

If configuring slmodem to use ALSA, it is important to remove the slamr and
slusb modules from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra otherwise the kernel will load
slamr0 itself and nothing is working anymore.

If you unload slamr and reload snd-intel8x0m, it may work, but I have built-in
sound into the kernel.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Normal startup process
2.
3.

is removing /etc/modules.d/slmodem and doing a modules-update sufficient? If
that is the case I won't install slmodem for alsa ebuilds.

I think its a hotplug problem. edit /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add slamr. Can
you please tell me if this works, or when the module is loaded?

Blacklisting has fixed the problem.

Another question: Has somebody tested to use kppp with slmodem? I do not have a /dev/modem symlink. Is there a way creating it using udev-rules?

Stefan,

Thanks, will add blacklist for modules under alsa next time I change it.

Christian,
/etc/udev/rules.d/55-slmodem.rules
KERNEL="slamr", NAME="slamr0", SYMLINK="modem"
I've undoubtly got the module names wrong.

This udev rule is wrong as /dev/slamr0 is no modem.

Why is no slusb rule in udev?

What is with the other bug? 

Do you still pay attention to it?

come by irc and talk me though the changes that need to be made. I want fix
this all in one hit.
