Since upgrading to kernel 2.6.5-7.111 I noticed that my notebook's Lucent winmodem suddenly isn't working. The KInternet log file says that /dev/modem doesn't exist (which it does and is linked to the correct /dev/ttyLT0 device). ltmodem has also been upgraded to 2.6.2-38-8 from 2.6.2-36. If I roll back the change to the kernel and the modem driver the modem works again.
Hmmn... seems like the culprit may not have been the kernel upgrade but when I installed a wireless card. Things broke again after I installed a wireless card, despite sticking with the older kernel. But I managed to get the modem back after doing a depmod -a in /lib/modules/2.x.x-kernel-override-default Hope this helps if someone else runs into it.
