If its winmodem or proprietary modem well dont expect that its driver will be included in your favorite distro. In my Dell it has a wireless lan that uses proprietary driver which suse explicitly said it will not include any driver for any proprietary hardware producst. Good thing theres a opensource wrapper that I can use and now I have a working wireless for my linux laptop.

I tried Ubuntu 6.06 LTS but it couldnot detect or install the modem on my laptop. I wish I can use it because what I like about Ubuntu it can easily update the programs and adding softwares applications is very easy. More power to Linux and open source softwares.
