  I expect this problem from the package in official Jaunty 
  repositories, since they removed some necessary code to get devices 
  created, namely they removed sl-modem-daemon.modutils which had this 
  line:

  install slamr /sbin/modprobe -qb ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slamr0 &&
chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0)

  Anyways, since also the package on PPA failed with you, could you 
  please attach the /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon configuration file ?

  Also, give me the output of:

  ls -l /dev/sl*
