Perhaps this is not so. But thats the reason i didn't worry about
drivers.
So...vatsala if you want tofind out more about the modem go to a
terminal window and type:
sudo lspci
this will list items on the pci bus. one of them will be the modem. this
is what my server looks like (it doesn't have a modem so you won't find
one in this list)
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8375 [KM266/KL266] Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP]
00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev
80)
00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev
80)
00:10.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev
80)
00:10.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 82)
00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge
00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC
Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97
Audio Controller (rev 50)
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
now you need to figure out the number that corresponds to the modem
device. in my case we will find out some more info about the ethernet
controller, adapt it to your circumstances:
sudo lspci -vn -s 00:12.0
the output will be something like this:
00:12.0 Class 0200: 1106:3065 (rev 74)
Subsystem: 1106:0102
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
I/O ports at e400 [size=256]
Memory at ee001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
(the first two lines of output are the ones we really want.
report the output back to us :-)
another option if you want to get the box on the net quickly - configure
internet connection sharing on your windows box and an ethernet network
between winbox and ubuntubox.
