The following steps worked for me:
1. when using kernel > 2.6.9, you need to patch the driver.
    if you don't,  it will compile but will not load (with "unknown 
symbol" error).

2. use the "ungrab-winmodem" driver.
The kernel thinks that the winmodem is a serial device and therefore 
claims it.
Loading the "ungrab-winmodem" driver BEFORE loading the slmodem driver 
fixes this problem.
