sl-modem (2.9.9d+e-pre2-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* replaced amrmo_init.c with the version from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz
which has basically the superset of our changes (plus two additional modem
IDs) but zeroes out the class* method calls since they are "protected" by
GPL-enforcing kernel macros now (closes: #354216)
* the above change effectively disables the udev functionality. Send your
complaints to kernel developers if you need it. Or suggest a better
solution. For now, a oneliner in /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils
creates /dev/slamr0.
* workaround to fix device files that got the wrong owner (660 instead of
root) during the major number transition in July 2005

Needs real testing with a Smartlink USB modem which I do not have (closes: #338740) * disabled the "PCI device grabbing warning" code which caused OOpses on 2.6.15

* init script patch from Stephen Gildea <gildea@stop.mail-abuse.org> to
improve the start/stop behaviour and ALSA detection (closes: #312884)

The existance of the ALSA driver is checked not only by looking at modules now (closes: #246950) * added dependency on kernel-image-2.6 in the hope that people will install a recent kernel (since versioned Provides: are not possible) as alternative to the source package or installed modules (closes: #247476)

a working one, helping users that look for wrong keywords (closes: #228416)
