I retract my conclusion from my previous mail that the problem was caused by module load order. If I remove alsa modules and slamr and then reinsert the slamr module, the device node now gets created. The difference may be related to the fact that the ungrab_winmodem module was not inserting when I was having problems, and now that it does insert, the problem is gone. If this is the right explanation, I don't know what caused it.

I appreciate your assistance. Dave PS The crash on the 2.6.15 kernel is most likely related to a problem in alsa that should probably be addressed first. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
