Helmut the slamr code was competent upto 2.6.30 kernels, but it is failing for 2.6.31 kernels. Quite likely your SuSE system will work in you install a kernel 2.6.30 and compiling support A line: Carrier Check = no must be added to /etc/wvdial.conf for drivers using /dev/pts/N ports, including slamr.
