Dear all,
I have a smartlink based winmodem on my computer. This is what I use to connect to the internet from my home machine. I am a little bit concerned because the slmodem-2.9.11-20080417 code does not compile under kernel-2.6.25. When I try to compile I see the following:
for /home/olivares/Downloads/slmodem-2.9.11-20080417/drivers/amrlibs.o FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'usb_unlink_urb'
Is there a quick fix for this or an alternative that will make the compilation succeed so that I and other users with these kind of modems can continue using Fedora?
Thank you in Advance,
Antonio

You should take that back to the slmodem folk. It's the sort of thing you can (given the skills) fix for yourself, but you are forbidden (by licence conflicts) to distribute the results.

No problems yet, only when Fedora 9 comes out, as of right now all is ok.
