Dear all,

I have a smartlink based winmodem on my computer. 

This is what I use to connect to the internet from my

home machine.  I am a little bit concerned because the
slmodem-2.9.11-20080417 code does not compile under
kernel-2.6.25.  When I try to compile I see the

following: 

for
/home/olivares/Downloads/slmodem-2.9.11-20080417/drivers/amrlibs.o
 FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses
GPL-only symbol
 'usb_unlink_urb'

Is there a quick fix for this or an alternative that
will make the compilation succeed so that I and other
users with these kind of modems can continue using
Fedora?

Thank you in Advance,

Antonio

You should take that back to the slmodem folk. It's the sort of thing 

you can (given the skills) fix for yourself, but you are forbidden (by 

licence conflicts) to distribute the results.

 I downloaded latest slmodem-2.9.11-20080417.tar.gz

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20080417.tar.gz

 No problems yet, only when Fedora 9 comes out, as of

right now all is ok.
