Thanks for your answer Arjan,
I am using the VMWare image
"moblin-netbook-core-alpha2-vmware-20090311.tar.bz2" from moblin.org, this
comes with 2.6.29.rc7-40.1.moblin2-netbook kernel, that is the reason why I
care. Would it be a good idea to switch to install 2.6.29.1 kernel in this
image ?

Regards,

Jonathan

PS: I cannot share the source code for the modem driver as this is not
open-source unfortunately...

you need the kernel-netbook-devel package.
I wonder why you care about the rc7 kernel; it's much older than the
2.6.29.1 one,
and not as great and bug free....

Also, can you give us a link to the source code of that driver? Sounds like
a good
candidate for the staging tree/etc....
