Package: sl-modem-daemon
Version: 2.9.9d-6

I tried to install Debian Testing on a friend's laptop who has one of the
Intel AC97 modems that sl-modem drivers work with. I installed testing and
found that although snd_intel8x0m module is loaded, the device wouldn't
start. After much investigation it all came down to the fact that inside the
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon script there are two variables like:

driverlist = "snd_intel8x0m blah foo"
unloadlist = "snd_intel8x0m blah foo"

The daemon when operated in "auto" mode does modprobe on the frist one and
modprobe -r on the second one. The BUG is that while unloadlist has correct
names, the driverlist actually says:

driverlist = "snd-intel8x0m blah foo"

With *dashes* instead of *underscores* everywhere, thus the daemon removes
the module but never loads it.

Once I changes the dashes to underscores, the loading proceeded correctly
and everything works fine.

Cheers,
Alex.

P.S. Don't have access to that laptop anymore and filing this report from
another machine.
