Simple solution after two hours of googling was on the same page that took me to the bugzilla Goto linmodems.com or search google for slmodem-2.9.9a tar xzvf slmodem-2.9.9a.tar.gz cd slmodem-2.9.9a make && make install vi /etc/rc.modules and insert modprobe slamr ( or slusb) modprobe slamr (or slusb) for immediate use cp scripts/slmodemd /etc/init.d/ chkconfig --add slmodemd chkconfig slmodemd on service slmodemd start Thats it, For alsa support you will need to do a test: lsmod |grep snd_intel8x0m If it find s the module you can try the 2.9.10 driver I have only had luck with it on my laptop, but we have vuild 1000s of these laptops and only mine works. Here is how: tar xzvf slmodem-2.9.9a.tar.gz cd slmodem-2.9.9a/modem make SUPPORT_ALSA=1 cd ../ back to the slmodem-2.9.9a dir make install SUPPORT_ALSA=1 you will need the modified slmodemd script which I have attached below: cp modified/alsa/slmodemd/script /etc/init.d/slmodemd vi /etc/rc.modules and insert modprobe slamr ( or slusb) modprobe slamr (or slusb) for immediate use cp scripts/slmodemd /etc/init.d/ chkconfig --add slmodemd chkconfig slmodemd on service slmodemd start #!/bin/sh # # slmodemd: Starts the SmartLink Modem Daemon # # chkconfig: 345 90 10 # description: This is the user space part of the SmartLink Modem driver # processname: slmodemd # config: /etc/sysconfig/slmodem # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions prog=slmodemd RETVAL=0 # Default configuration SLMODEMD_DEVICE=slamr0 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=SOUTHAFRICA # Source configuration CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/$prog if [ -f $CONFIG ]; then . $CONFIG # override default group and permissions if defined in $CONFIG; # other valid options also can be put into SLMODEMD_OPTS variable [ "$GROUP" ] && SLMODEMD_OPTS="$SLMODEMD_OPTS --group=$GROUP" [ "$PERMS" ] && SLMODEMD_OPTS="$SLMODEMD_OPTS --perm=$PERMS" fi # uncomment this if you want this feature (if necessary edit module pattern): # do not try to start on a kernel which does not support it # grep -q 'slamr\..*o' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep || exit 0 start() { echo -n "Starting SmartLink Modem driver for $SLMODEMD_DEVICE: " $prog </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null \ --alsa --country=$SLMODEMD_COUNTRY $SLMODEMD_OPTS & RETVAL=$?

I have not yet figured out how to get udev to create the link, but will post a solution as soon as I or someone else figure that out. It got something to with make an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and the syntax for that file is whats got to be figured, I have not the time today but will get around to it.
