Eh? The funny thing is that I did with FC2 and results even
worked. :-) It even surprised me that this went so smoothly
when I expected hiccups. It does not mean that hiccups would
not show up elsewhere but "cannot" seems to be a bit strong.
To make that concrete attached are a spec file and two, referenced
in it, pieces for a support of an AC97 "windmodem" built-in into
my wife's Acer TM230 laptop. The required rest can be had from
ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/slmodem.2.9.7.tar.gz
No problems with building kernel modules for that on FC2 just
by rebuilding this rpm.
Do you realize that slmodemd has the optional "ALSA mode", which allows
you to use your modem with ALSA's snd-intel8x0m module and no additional
kernel modules? You only run "slmodemd -a" and it works.
