Fasttrak100 questions...
Where can this Lucent driver be found? The one I use with my Thinkpad is version 5.68. It comes as a loadable module (ltmodem.o) with no serial.c, and I havent gotten it to work with any kernel later than 2.2.14.

You are wrong: If you modify the kernel you have to make it available for anyone who wishes to use it; that's also in the GPL. You can't add stuff
No it isnt. Some people seem to think it is. You only have to provide a change if you give someone the binaries concerned. Some people also think that 'linking' clauses mean they can just direct the customer to do the link, that also would appear to be untrue in legal precedent - the law cares about the intent.
This is currently happening with lucent winmodem driver: there's modified version of serial.c, and customers are asked to compile it and (staticaly-)link it against proprietary code to get usable driver. Is that okay or not?

The serial API had to change in 2.2.15. I know it broke the lucent driver, the fix was a neccessary security fix
