Re: Davide - Italy - kernel 2.6.68-11 generic

Davide,

Thanks for the report.  It looks as if:
1) the slamr driver (rather than snd-intel8x0m) suffices for your

wherein SIL22 is a Smartlink codec.
This is a good result, because your sound and modem support are now independent.

2) slamr functioning under 2.6.28 no longer needs ungrab-winmodem
This was a hoped for change, though we did not no when kernel changes
would make it possible.

Antonio,
   Please check whether ungrab-winmodem is still necessary under your
2.6.30 kernel.
