Fine, but there doesn't seem to be a slamr module built for the SuSE kernel. At least not one that I can find.
I'm sure that's true. No need to tell you this, but then it's time pester the laptop manufacturer. Assuming they claim to suport Linux ... if not, it's time for a new supplier.
Well let's think about that for a minute.
The laptop was built by IBM about 3 years ago..... and IBM then sold the whole product line to Lenovo.
The laptop has a SmartLink modem in it and SmartLink sold that line to Conexant who then turned their driver support over to Linuxand who doesn't at the moment provide a SmartLink driver.
Just who do you want me to bug??
Lenovo. Who else? Perhaps your case is already lost, but the only way to get Linux support for reasonably popular hardware is making sure the manufacturers know about the Linux demand. Otherwise it will certainly never happen. /Per Jessen, Zürich
