With the recent changes in kernel sources, slmodem-2.9.11 fails to compile with new vanilla-sources-2.6.18. Errors returned are below & take note this package compile fine with kernel sources in the 2.6.17 branch.

A workaround is possible for those who are lucky and can use this driver in ALSA mode. Like the current USB flag, can you add a new flag to prevent the build of the 'slamr' kernel module ? FYI: ALSA has the built-in modem drivers included in 'alsa-driver' >= 1.0.2 and in Linux kernel >= 2.6.5. Currently there is 'intel8x0m' (snd-intel8x0m) modem driver, which supports ICH based AC97 modems (MC97). Recent 'alsa-driver' (>=1.0.8) has also support for NVidia NForce, SiS 630 (snd-intel8x0m), VIA686 (snd-via82xx-modem) and ATI IXP (snd-atiixp-modem) based modems. This temporary solution is not perfect but should work for some lucky bastard like me.
Both modules (slamr and slusb) have been fixed in slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101-r1. Now you can build them even if you use 2.6.18 kernel.
(In reply to comment #2) > Now you can build them even if you use 2.6.18 kernel. Still failing but easy to fix if you include <utsrelease.h> in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h UTS_RELEASE has moved from <version.h> to new header file <utsrelease.h>
utsrelease.h path is /usr/src/linux/include/linux/utsrelease.h ?
(In reply to comment #4) > utsrelease.h path is /usr/src/linux/include/linux/utsrelease.h ? > You are right, same directory as version.h in vanilla sources. This file does not exist with older kernels (<2.6.18). belgix@ ~ $ dir /usr/src/linux/include/linux/utsrelease.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Sep 6 10:24 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/utsrelease.h
fixed in cvs, without revision bump.
