OK! I am aware of this but isn't it only theoretical?
Wall shall do, me,
just a simple mortal, if when I do "yum install
kmod-foo", yum wants to
install an unavailable kernel from stone ages....

Francios,
slmodemd with alsa should be kernel independent. Unless it is the other slmodemd, the one
that supports smartlink modems. If it is the first one,
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz
should serve the modem in your laptop. If it is the latter, then they are kernel
dependent and there have been troubles compiling in 2.6.25.X kernels. There is new code
that compiles under 2.6.25.X at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-2008062...
The code compiles a slamr.ko module, but does not copile a slusb.ko due to problems with
usb??? If you compiled previous slmodem-20080417.tar.gz code, you would see something
like
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'usb_unlink_urb
There shall be a new version coming out soon for the newer kernels if they have access to
this new code :). If you need if faster you can try and compile it and report back/sucess
failure. If you decide to compile the code, I'll relay your report to
discuss(a)linmodems.org.
HTH,
Antonio
