Shiva, I understand your frustrations. I have tried to make a module for slax and have seen the segfaults many times myself :( http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=39934 It is not your own problem, others have encountered this before too! We hope that there is a fix sometime in the future. Szolt, Bjorn and other 11c11040 modem owners have had their share of trouble too, but they have overcome many troubles.
