OK: I've now installed the Fedora 2.6.5-1.358 source code, and I'm
getting lots of errors while trying to compile the 2.9.9 driver. But
it's building fine against a standard 2.6.7 from kernel.org. I'd say
it doesn't like one of Fedora's patches.

Warning: a module compiled against 2.6.7 probably won't work on
2.6.5-1.358.

I'd recommend you get hold of 2.6.7 from a kernel.org mirror, compile
it yourself, boot from it, then compile the slmodem driver against the
2.6.7 source and try it there.

Hope this helps,

James.
