[Bug 375148] [NEW] no more /dev/ttySL0 device node

[Rolf Leggewie]

Public bug reported:

Ever since I updated to Jaunty, I cannot access the Winmodem in my
Thinkpad X24 any longer.  This used to work fine in Hardy.  I think I
have the necessary packages installed and even upgraded to the PPA
packages from Ahmed, the Debian maintainer.  The dkms module is compiled
fine, there just is no /dev/ttySL0 device node.  /dev/modem thus points
into nirvana.

$ dpkg -l sl-modem* dkms
