Ok... this is a solution !!! But, if you open Yast for configuring a smartlink-softmodem, then Yast downloads and installs automatically the package km_smartlink-softmodem... but after that the modem doesn't works because the package km_smartlink-softmodem has errors in the Makefile and Yast can't creates the module slamr.ko !!! Then... or the bug is in Yast (it should tell... "download nonGPL version of kernel") or is in the km_smartlink-softmodem!!! I think that every person that know nothing about kernel, module, packages and so on, should be able to install smartlink modems by Yast!!!! So, somethings goes wrong... if I can't install my modem by Yast!! is it right???? I don't know the Novell policies about nonGPL packages (as smartlink-softmodem)... so, I don't know if my problem arise because I installed a nonGPL package in the GPL version of Suse (openSUSE)... but again... Yast have to tell me (if openSUSE goal is to create a friendly OS)!!!
Alright, please file an enhancement request for YaST on bugzilla.novell.com then ;) Regards Christoph
