[ltp] T30 modem & Fedora Core 3

[Polychronis Ypodimatopoulos]

To resolve this problem with kernel 2.6.10 and slmodem-2.9.10
follow these steps:
http://www.datiku.com/documents/2610_migration.php

Just put slmodem-2.9.10-abby.diff inside slmodem-2.9.10 and patch it:

# patch -p1 < slmodem-2.9.10-abby.diff

Then make and all should be fine when loading the module.

I really am puzzled by GPL modules that "refuse" to cooperate with
non-GPL modules. That actually reminds me of MS practices that I resent.
