slmodem in blacklist.d

My Modem is Smarklink..
05:08.0 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. Unknown device 2800 (rev 02)

I emerged net-dialup/slmodem, and got some infomation from emerge:

Code:

* To avoid problems, slusb/slamr have been added to /etc/hotplug/blacklist
 * You must edit /etc/conf.d/slmodem for your configuration
 * To add slmodem to your startup - type : rc-update add slmodem default
 * You need to be in the uucp AND dialout group to make calls as a user.
 *
 * If you see the following in dmesg:
slamr: device 10b9:5457 is grabbed by driver serial
 * you need to modprobe ungrab-winmodem before slamr
>>> net-dialup/slmodem-2.9.11_pre20061021-r1 merged.

after emerging the driver, i cannot modprobe slamr... so i checked /etc/hotplug/blacklist
i cannot find the blocked file in this folder, but i found that in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/slmodem

slusb
snd-intel8x0m
slamr

how can i enable slamr ? i delete "slamr" from /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/slmodem, but still cannot modprobe slamr.

FATAL: Module slamr not found.

and whats the different between blacklist folder and blacklist.d/ folder?

thanks in advance.

I think it get placed here. Do a ' ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra '
Do a search of your current kernel modules directory for slamr /lib/modules/'uanme -r'
