I have the same Mini-PCI card in my laptop (not a Dell, though). The
ethernet requires 2.2.18 or later and it is a 3com 3c556 chip
("Hurricane" or something). The "modem" is not a modem unless you have
drivers for it. There is some e-mail address you can post to (which I
forget now) to encourage 3com to produce a Linux driver for the modem.

Andrew.
