Avoid installing the somewhat broken snd-intel8x0m driver?

[azz]

The equally unsupported sl-modem-daemon package will load this (free,
GPL) module if the non-free one is unavailable.  Since these modems
have conflicting pci IDs, it seems to be a reasonable default.  If you
have compiled the sl-modem-module, it should automagically use that.

These drivers are known to work on many ac97 codec type modems.
