1. Regarding the no /dev/ttySL0 issue, there is more than one comment on this very bug that when the patch that installs /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf is applied, the modem worked successfully. 2. Regarding the "NO CARRIER" issue with linux kernels (>= 2.6.31), an Karmic user (Yair Elharrar) sent a patch to upstream which fixes it [1]. 3. Three days ago I was able to get my hands on an old laptop that got a Smartlink modem and Karmic installed on it (ie. a 2.6.31 kernel). So I tested the package (with both cases: ALSA & slamr drivers) and it worked: dialed out, and successfully connected to internet. The only case that I did not test though is FAXing. > Ahmed, I urge you to really shape up your bug work now. Don't just > claim it works when you cannot know (and in fact it doesn't).

It was tested by myself (as stated above) & by upstream.
