Llama,

I'm no guru and get a lot of help from your posts in fact. But, I had
to go to /etc/pcmcia and manually edit config and put the right module
for my pcmcia card.  It was yes a NIC card which SuSE had as axnet_cs
that would give me that hi beep/low dud. I changed the card, a SMC8040TX
to pcnet_cs and never looked back and it never failed again. I think
you should be able to do the same for your modem. Pcmcia is very flaky
IMHO in the 2.4 kernels one time, I couldn't get to work for another.
I forget where I got the info suggesting I change the driver, but it
worked and I am talking to you from my laptop via cable modem.

HTH or points you to something that will.

Best Regards,

Keith B.
