Trevor,

Thanks for the report, The fix in the script will be done.
When you do an upgrade to Jaunty, preserve the file
/etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.conf
as if will not  be provided automatically in the Jaunty sl-modem-daemon package.

Also under Jaunty do:
$ sudo apt-get install dkms sl-modem-source
Thereafter dkms will direct installation of a kernel matched slamr
with every kernel upgrade.
Credit to Ahmed.
