No, I meant the 'slamr' kernel driver module, which is built from a big binary-only library (amrlibs.o) and a small amount of kernel glue source code. As long as amrlibs.o is distributed only as a 32-bit x86 binary, I won't be able to use it with a 64-bit amd64 kernel.
slmodemd is not the problem since an amd64 kernel can support 32-bit x86 user-space binaries.
