Davide, Thanks for the report. It looks as if: 1) the slamr driver (rather than snd-intel8x0m) suffices for your Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller " > CLASS=0703 > PCIDEV=1039:7013 > SUBSYS=1558:2202 > IRQ=10 > SOFT=1039:7013.MC97 > CodecArchived=SIL22 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.
