[ILUG] smartlink modem driver on fedora FC3 kernels

[Kudakwashe Dube]

The version of the slmodem that worked for me is 2.9.9a [ 
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.9a.tar.gz ].

The problem I have is that I  finding it difficult  to be loaded 
automatically with rc.local having the following lines:

    modprobe slamr
    /usr/bin/slmodemd --country-IRELAND /dev/slamr0
