DC RE: needs the SmartLink driver slmodemd is NOT a driver. Rather it acts through one of several hardware specific drivers (snd-hda-intel, snd-via82xx-modem, snd-atiixp-modem, snd-intel8x0m, slamr or slusb) which provide low level contact with the hardware. The higher level COMM functionality was partitioned into slmodemd by maintainer Sasha Khapyorsky. slmodemd remains effective across multiple kernels, and only the low level drivers have to be updated with kernel changes. RE: the fact that there is an intel sound driver kinda puzzles me, High Definition Audio (HDA) support under Linux was first coded for an Intel HDA audio card. Hence the driver name given: snd-hda-intel. Subsequently support for many other Vendor's HDA cards was blended in, while retaining the driver name snd-hda-intel. HDA cards can host softmodem chips in their Subsystems, and the low level modem support was also added to snd-hha-intel. Again the high level COMM support is provided by slmodemd.
