hmm... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't gentoo-sources-2.6.18 marked as testing? right now, slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101-r2 is in the probation period (one month without any change).
x86: please stablize We want these fixed before 2.6.18 goes stable. So it is a good time to start now. Important fixes like this one justify to stabilze earlier.

A bit early, but since it seems to fix previous revision (from ChangeLog), and it actually works, I've stabilized it.
I would suggest as a further enhancement for new releases to consider splitting the kernel modules from the userland tools (slmodem-drivers out of slmodem). I shouldn't need any special external kernel module for my hardware, the alsa 8x0m driver should be enough, and the userland part is much less likely to break with future stable kernel releases. thanks.
