Fwd: FYI: slmodemd working in FC4 kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

[Parameshwara Bhat]

Thank You,Antonio,

Your script sent in the FML has worked for me, but not until I created  
device nodes under /etc/udev/devices.

The 'make install' step creates these nodes under /dev/ which get deleted  
during booting and that kills slmodemd started by the init script.(Or  
maybe,the route that I  took was responsible)

So, in the source package, the makefile needs a change to create these  
nodes under '/etc/udev/devices' after checking for udev subsys presence in  
the system. Could you please include this in your suggestion to linmodem  
ML as I am not a member there.

I have made a request in the bugzilla at livna to build rpm packages from  
source for every release of kernel as it will be available for all Fedora  
users.They already have slmodem-alsa.

Best Regards and thanks all who helped.
