I am on dialup and I have to use slmodemd to connect
to the internet and without it, I have to reboot and
run first kernel to send any bugs on the home machine.
Since the first test kernel, slmodemd does not work
on the updated kernels.
[root at localhost slmodem-2.9.11-20051101]# service

I created an install script to track the changes. I
modified st7554.c line 1153 was removed to remove a
compile error as suggested by Sasha K from
linmodems.org. And Marv also asked which gcc was
running which is
[tonio at localhost drivers]$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 131692 Jan 7 06:55
/usr/bin/gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 87804 Jan 4 08:32
/usr/bin/gcc32
[tonio at localhost drivers]$
I hate to bother with this issue, but it does not want
to work. I am aware of the issues of userpace* and
not building into the kernel, but the winmodem that I
have does not run with alternate code.
Best Regards,
Antonio
